The neonatal period, which is defined as the first 28 days after birth, is known to be a crucial stage in the development of the human brain. During this stage, the brain is known to grow ...

Brain development does not end at 25 but continues into the early 30s as neural networks become more efficient and ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Among the newly identified brain cell types were some in the neocortex and the striatum region, which controls movement and certain other functions. Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious ...

A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

There’s this idea that something happens in the human brain when we turn 25. Suddenly, we can rent a car without fees. Make ...

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can responsibly use these bits of gray matter.

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 ...

The brain has five major structural phases during the human lifespan and doesn't reach adulthood until age 32, a new study suggests. Scientists determined that brain development is defined by four ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach ...
