Researchers mapped early brain growth from mid-pregnancy to the first month after birth and found signs that sex-linked differences emerge surprisingly early.

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

We have long believed that brain growth stops and aging begins once we pass the age of 20. However, a study by British university researchers analyzing brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data has ...

Mount Sinai and BPGbio scientists uncover novel molecular drivers from live brain samples that direct human brain structure and function from early development through aging: ...

Explore the connection between neurodegeneration and cellular senescence in understanding brain structure and ageing.

A smart new platform developed by IIT Bombay unifies scattered brain-disease data to help researchers find markers, explore ...

The human brain is made up of billions of nerve cells, or neurons, that communicate with each other in vast, interconnected networks. For the brain to function reliably, there needs to be a fine ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their ...

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 ...
