When a baby enters the world, their brain contains billions of neurons awaiting connection. The first 1,000 days of life, from conception to age two, represent a critical period where over 85% of ...

A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence ...

A team of researchers from the University of Aberdeen has uncovered, for the first time, how genes linked to autism and ...

When babies are born, their brains contain billions of neurons. But how those neurons interact — and what they can do as babies grow through childhood into adulthood — is largely shaped by their ...

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 ...

Within the first year of life, the brain triples in size, reaching 90% of its adult size by age six. In this week's Therapy Thursday, therapist Kaydee Norton with Sunbeam Family Services discusses the ...

In humans, the process of learning is driven by different groups of cells in the brain firing together. For instance, when the neurons associated with the process of recognizing a dog begin to fire in ...

We have long believed that brain growth stops and aging begins once we pass the age of 20. However, a study by British ...

A study reveals our brain development changes at ages 9, 32, 66 and 83.

If you scroll through TikTok or Instagram long enough, you'll inevitably stumble across the line: "Your frontal lobe isn't ...
