New neuroscience research identifies Glutamine Synthetase as the key enzyme driving postnatal brain maturation and neuronal ...

An influential hypothesis in neuroscience is that the brain may operate near criticality, a transition zone between ...

An analysis of the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study data showed that children accepted by their parents and more ...

The human brain develops through an intricate balance of cellular growth, connectivity, and metabolism. A new study reveals ...

(A) Western blot analysis of FOXJ3 protein expression in the developing mouse cortex from E11.5 to E18.5. FOXJ3 expression was detected at all examined stages and increased progressively. (B) Bar ...

Researchers have discovered that mutations in the FOXJ3 gene act as a "master switch" failure, disrupting how the brain builds its layers and leading to FCD, a primary cause of drug-resistant epilepsy ...

The cerebral cortex, the brain's outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, layered structure. Its proper development requires newly generated neurons to ...

A new study finds key differences in the development of the cortex between autistic boys and girls ages 2-13. The study found sex-specific changes in the thickness of the outer layer of the brain, ...
