Brain growth and maturation doesn't progress in a linear, stepwise fashion. Instead, it's a dynamic, choreographed sequence that shifts in response to genetics and external stimuli like sight and ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and ...

During childhood and adolescence, our brain goes through a lot of changes. But studying those changes in juvenile mice is challenging because scientists don’t have a way to repeatedly image the same ...

A novel reversible, noninvasive technique to observe neuron formation and firing in juvenile mice has been developed. During childhood and adolescence, our brain goes through a lot of changes. But ...

Researchers have mapped 30 million cells to create a definitive atlas of the human neocortex. This blueprint reveals how human brain development differs from other mammals and provides a roadmap for ...

A new study led by scientists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and INSERM identified genes essential for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, including a gene linked to a previously ...

The brain may lose control over which genes get expressed as it ages.

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment and ...

Researchers have enhanced a cellular road map of how the brain forms and adapts early in life by bringing together genetic ...
