A new MIT study finds that somatostatin-expressing neurons follow a unique trajectory when forming connections in the brain’s ...

New research indicates that the structural organization of the human brain does not develop in a continuous, linear fashion ...

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 ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

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

A study suggesting that the human brain enters a stable phase around age 32 has people in their 20s feeling validated. University of Cambridge neuroscientists released their research results on ...

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 ...

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 ...

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene ...
