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 ...

By editing thousands of genes in mouse stem cells, the scientists identified a list of over 300 that are crucial for neural differentiation.

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

The 25 number became popular off the back of brain imaging studies from the late 1990s and early 2000s. These studies often tracked changes through childhood and adolescence and showed that the brain ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Before age 5, a baby's brain grows rapidly, undergoing a uniquely important moment in development. Yet, many don't understand just how critical it is for setting a person's foundation for thriving.

If you scroll through TikTok or Instagram long enough, you'll inevitably stumble across the line: "Your frontal lobe isn't ...

Language learning is a fascinating and intricate process that has intrigued scholars and researchers for centuries. It is not only a means of communication but also a window into the complex workings ...
