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

Human brains are built to grow for years, yet for some children that growth is cut short, leaving them with smaller heads, ...

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 ...

For the first time, a team of researchers at the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National ...

The claim that the brain, and particularly the frontal lobe, finishes developing at 25 is far less solid than social media ...

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 ...

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 ...

A lot of brain development happens early in life, but researchers don't have a strong understanding of how a baby's brain ...

Rather than thinking that adolescence ends at 18, groundbreaking brain research has shown that critical brain developmental ...
