A smart new platform developed by IIT Bombay unifies scattered brain-disease data to help researchers find markers, explore ...

Learn the new science of brain development and discover the importance of connections and learning for ongoing brain health.

Brain development does not end at 25 but continues into the early 30s as neural networks become more efficient and ...

A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this process possible. Among the discoveries is PEDS1, a gene now linked to a ...

UCLA Health researchers have created a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism spectrum disorder affect early brain development, providing new insights ...

Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new Yale-led study shows that, early in development, molecular “traffic cops” known ...

The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...

During brain development, neurons extend long processes called axons. Axons link different areas of the brain and carry signals within it and to the rest of the body. Growing axons "wire up" the brain ...

Researchers at the University of Exeter have created a detailed temporal map of chemical changes to DNA through development and aging of the human brain, offering new insights into how conditions such ...

Scientists are discovering that our tendency to develop certain phobias might be written in our DNA before we even encounter the things that terrify us. Evidence from twin studies suggests that ...
