Researchers now suggest that the human brain goes through five distinct phases of development over the course of a lifetime. 1. Childhood, from birth to age 9, during which time the brain is ...

Researchers have built the first-ever molecular atlas of the human brain vasculature at single-cell resolution, spanning from early development to adulthood and through disease stages such as brain ...

It's one of nature's greatest ironies: the human brain lacks the ability to grasp its own complexity. Indeed, the brain is complicated. The three-pound organ housed in our heads consists of roughly 86 ...

Groundbreaking neurocognition research is sharpening the scientific focus on a once little-understood process in early childhood: myelination. As studies reveal how this critical brain mechanism ...

Johns Hopkins University researchers have grown a novel whole-brain organoid, complete with neural tissues and rudimentary blood vessels—an advance that could usher in a new era of research into ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Biomedical engineers have achieved a major breakthrough in ...

In humans, the process of learning is driven by different groups of cells in the brain firing together. For instance, when the neurons associated with the process of recognizing a dog begin to fire in ...

The human brain experiences five distinct eras as we age, and each is defined by changes in our neural architecture that influence how we process information, new research shows. The brain changes ...

Male and female brains begin developing differently in the womb. Here's how genetics, hormones, and prenatal biology shape brain structure, behaviour, and mental health outcomes before birth.

Steve Adubato sits down with Dr. Jennifer Chen, Professor of Early Childhood Education at Kean University, to explore the link between early childhood education and brain development and the impact of ...
