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

Cambridge researchers have revealed a detailed picture of how the human brain grows from mid-pregnancy through the first ...

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

The brain’s hemispheres are specialized for efficiency. Modern neuroscience shows lateralization enhances function without ...

By Dr. Liji Thomas, MD By seamlessly tracking brain growth from the womb into early life, researchers uncover when key brain regions surge and how subtle sex differences emerge before birth. Study: ...

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

Human fetal tissue research has helped in the development of some vaccines.

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 ...

In conjunction with University Medical Center Mainz, researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have identified a mechanism that protects the female brain from genetic ...

Brain microphysiological systems are reshaping in vitro neurotoxicity testing through functional validation and advanced ...
