Neuroscientists have found that our brain goes through five developmental stages as we age
This could be pivotal to helping people of all ages.
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 ...
The brain’s hemispheres are specialized for efficiency. Modern neuroscience shows lateralization enhances function without ...
Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have identified a mechanism that protects the female ...
Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively builds dense new clusters of synapses in specific parts of neurons. These ...
Cambridge researchers have revealed a detailed picture of how the human brain grows from mid-pregnancy through the first ...
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 ...
During brain development, neurons extend long processes called axons. Axons link different areas of the brain and carry signals within it and to the rest of the body. Growing axons "wire up" the brain ...
Scientists have long observed that cancer patients have a lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease. New research reveals a possible ...
