A new hypothesis paper argues that the ordered stages of human neurodevelopment, from reflexes to physical grounding to ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have built a cross-species atlas of gene regulatory networks governing ...

The human brain continues to develop for two decades. To study this prolonged process, researchers have traditionally relied on donated human brain tissue and animal models, both of which have ...

An MRI scan typically provides information at the millimetre scale. The new atlases offer a finer view of the brain's ...

The human brain reduces neural circuits during the process of growthThe human brain, reduces the connections between nerve ...

What happens when scientists start changing the brain—the very system through which an animal's mental states are expressed in behavior?

UCLA researchers created a single-cell map of the developing human neocortex in Down syndrome during a critical window of prenatal brain development, finding that the condition alters the ...

The researchers found that the organoids did more than simply remain alive. Over several years, their cells followed a molecular sequence resembling the development of the human brain during gestation ...

Neuroscientists in the US have successfully adapted mice to have functioning human cells inside their own brains. The researchers hope that potential treatments for psychiatric and neurodevelopmental ...
