New neuroscience research reveals how our brains evolve through key life stages, highlighting the hidden strengths of aging.

That viral claim that your frontal lobe “isn’t fully developed until 25” turns out to be more myth than milestone. Early brain scans showed that gray matter changes dramatically through the teen years ...

The human brain is a marvel, with intricate pathways connecting its various regions — a superhighway of learning. These neural pathways are the foundation of our thoughts, actions and responses to the ...

Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cells, or OPCs (the purple and green blobs above), prune unneeded synapses (the silver streaks) in the brain’s visual cortex in response to new information and experiences.

PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania, USA, 3 June 2025 – In a comprehensive Genomic Press research article, scientists have uncovered remarkable insights into how the earliest brain connections shape infant ...

Early brain development is a biological black box. While scientists have devised multiple ways to record electrical signals in adult brains, these techniques don’t work for embryos. A team at Harvard ...

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...

* Teens treated with doxycycline had 30-35% lower odds of developing schizophrenia later. * The antibiotic may protect the brain by reducing inflammation and abnormal neural pruning. // * Researchers ...
