Researchers have investigated brain development to understand how different areas of the brain become specialized in handling information such as vision, sound, touch and planning. In a new study ...

Two-hundred billion views: that’s how many times people watched short-form videos on YouTube last year. They are always under 60 seconds, but usually last between 15 and 30 seconds, and your brain ...

The human brain undergoes significant development during the final prenatal months and through the first year of life. And while scientists have begun to map the developmental trajectories of this ...

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 ...

A study suggesting that the human brain enters a stable phase around age 32 has people in their 20s feeling validated. University of Cambridge neuroscientists released their research results on ...

Neurodevelopment involves the brain's formation of systems responsible for learning, memory, social skills, and overall function. Critical neurodevelopmental processes such as neurogenesis, synaptic ...

Previous research has found that the human brain reaches maturity sometime in the 20s, but a new study suggests that it never stops developing. Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have ...

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, ...

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 ...

For the first time, a team of researchers at the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH), has ...

Researchers have built the first-ever molecular atlas of the human brain vasculature at single-cell resolution, spanning from early development to adulthood and through disease stages such as brain ...
