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

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

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

A single microscopic change in our DNA can permanently alter how the brain is built, locking in developmental problems that no amount of later effort can fully undo. Researchers are now tracing how ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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