1. Childhood, from birth to age 9, during which time the brain is continually pruning away haphazardly created synaptic connections forged as early learning, unlearning and relearning chaotically ...

The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...

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 ...

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

Gabby Voit at UWM studies zebrafish embryonic development to gain insights into human brain development and genetic mutations related to fertility issues. Her research could help understand ...

Tal Sharf (right, senior author), Tjiste van der Molen (middle, postdoctoral researcher), and Greg Kaurala (left, staff researcher). Humans have long wondered when and how we begin to form thoughts.

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are observed in no other animal species. For centuries, scientists have been trying ...

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 ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins have grown a first-of-its-kind organoid mimicking an entire human brain, complete with rudimentary blood vessels and neural activity. This new "multi-region brain organoid" ...

The Dispilio tablet is a wooden artefact bearing linear marks, unearthed in 1993 during George Hourmouziadis’s excavations of ...
