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 ...

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 ...

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

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: ...

Among the newly identified brain cell types were some in the neocortex and the striatum region, which controls movement and certain other functions. Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious ...

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

Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have identified a mechanism that protects the female brain from genetic diseases. Although one of the two X chromosomes is ...

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

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

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 ...

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

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious initiative to chart how the many types of brain cells emerge and mature from the earliest embryonic and fetal stages until ...
