New neuroscience research reveals how our brains evolve through key life stages, highlighting the hidden strengths of aging.

How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory postdoc Stan Kerstjens and colleagues have devised a new theory for how the brain organizes ...

Neuroscientists propose a new theory of brain development where cells organize based on lineage rather than long-range signals.

Researchers found three master genes that alter brain development in Down syndrome, offering new clues about learning and memory differences.

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 ...

Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? Cold ...

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 ...

A new study reveals that attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder actually consists of at least two distinct structural brain subtypes, each with unique physical characteristics and behavioral ...
