That viral claim that your frontal lobe “isn’t fully developed until 25” turns out to be more myth than milestone. Early ...

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 ...

In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic ...

Understanding how a healthy brain works can provide insight into how it fails, too. Scientists hope that studying organoids derived from humans with neurodevelopmental disorders — particularly ...

Scientists are discovering that our tendency to develop certain phobias might be written in our DNA before we even encounter the things that terrify us. Evidence from twin studies suggests that ...

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 ...

How does a child's brain develop? Why are the first five years more powerful than most of us ever realize? Check out these simple, practical tips to boost your child's development from birth to age ...

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 ...

Children who spent a lot of time on screens before the age of two showed changes in brain development that were later linked to slower decision-making and higher anxiety during their teenage years, ...

A developmental sign in early childhood could help to flag the future likelihood of ADHD—and ensure the right support is given at the right time. Brain wiring at this stage of life could lay the ...
