Brain development does not end at 25 but continues into the early 30s as neural networks become more efficient and ...

Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new Yale-led study shows that, early in development, molecular “traffic cops” known ...

Learn the new science of brain development and discover the importance of connections and learning for ongoing brain health.

The brain has five major structural phases during the human lifespan and doesn't reach adulthood until age 32, a new study suggests. Scientists determined that brain development is defined by four ...

What happens to the human brain when the force of gravity is removed from the equation? New research is beginning to reveal ...

In a new study, researchers discovered that the human brain has four pivotal periods when it goes through marked changes, sparking five "epochs" that last for years. The adolescent phase, for example, ...

Lab-grown “reductionist replicas” of the human brain are helping scientists understand fetal development and cognitive disorders, including autism. But ethical questions loom. Brain organoids, which ...

A cutting-edge laboratory technique that turns human stem cells into brain-like tissue now recapitulates human brain development more accurately than ever, according to a new study from Case Western ...

We have many models of human development, from personality and psychosocial ones to those based on neuroscientific and developmental research. Freud (1937), envisioning a scientific model for ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

There must be something about the human brain that’s different from the brains of other animals — something that enables humans to plan, imagine the future, solve crossword puzzles, tell sarcastic ...
