Researchers have discovered a new way that brain plasticity is controlled in early life, offering insight into the ...

Humans take nearly 18 to 25 years to reach full maturity, far longer than most mammals. This slow human growth is driven by ...

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 ...

For some neuroscientists, the question of when the brain "stops" developing is headache-inducing. "It was kind of this unfathomable question," Duncan Astle, a researcher at the University of Cambridge ...

A new study has created a map of DNA modification in two regions of the brain critical to learning, memory and emotional regulation. The map offers a benchmark for ensuring stem cell-based models ...

A cutting-edge laboratory technique that turns human stem cells into brain-like tissue now recapitulates human brain development more accurately than ever, according to a new study from Case Western ...

Researchers at the USC Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC have created one of the largest reference models ever developed ...

Cambridge researchers created miniature brain-and-spinal-cord systems in the lab that can send signals and even trigger tiny ...

A new study is shedding light on how depressive symptoms in adolescents may develop differently among boys and girls.
