Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In ...

A sweeping genetic screen reveals how the brain is built and exposes a hidden gene behind a newly discovered childhood brain ...

Parents today are paying closer attention to children's brain development, from nutrition to screen habits. A paediatrician ...

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 ...

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 ...

New research following children for more than a decade links high screen exposure before age two to accelerated brain maturation, slower decision-making, and increased anxiety by adolescence.

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Exeter have created a detailed temporal map of chemical changes to DNA through development and aging of the human brain, offering new insights into how conditions such ...

A long-term study shows how screen time in babies may alter brain development and increase vulnerability to anxiety years ...

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