Researchers found three master genes that alter brain development in Down syndrome, offering new clues about learning and memory differences.

Not only do our brains appear to generate new neurons into adulthood, but those of superagers contain far more brain cells in development than those of healthy peers, new research has found. According ...

A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...

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

For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system?

How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

The neonatal period, which is defined as the first 28 days after birth, is known to be a crucial stage in the development of the human brain. During this stage, the brain is known to grow ...

Previous research has found that the human brain reaches maturity sometime in the 20s, but a new study suggests that it never stops developing. Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have ...

Neuroscientists propose a new theory of brain development where cells organize based on lineage rather than long-range signals.

Platform to detect human-relevant insights for discovery and development of therapies for neurological diseases, ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious initiative to chart how the many types of brain cells emerge and mature from the earliest embryonic and fetal stages until ...
