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 ...

Scans of more than 3,500 people allow scientists to draw up a guide to the brain areas that work together from birth to 100 ...

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 ...

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

Researchers have mapped how "histone bivalency" acts as a molecular clock for brain development. By holding genes in a poised state, this mechanism ensures neurons mature only after completing ...

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

An international research team has provided an unprecedented look at how gene regulation evolves during human brain development, showing how the 3D structure of chromatin—DNA and proteins—plays a ...
