All our lives we thought there was one brain - now it turns out that's not exactly true
A new study from Stanford challenges a centuries-old perception: the human brain actually evolved from two separate neural systems. The discovery may advance the study of ALS and SMA and open the door to new…
Assessment
The Stanford study reopens a foundational question about the brain's origins. If the brain truly developed from two distinct neural systems, the entire framework for researching neurodegenerative diseases like ALS and SMA may need recalibration. That could mean new treatment paths, but also years of rethinking basic assumptions.
