Study maps five major eras of brain wiring from birth to old age, revealing the key turning points that shape how we learn, ...

New neuroscience research reveals how our brains evolve through key life stages, highlighting the hidden strengths of aging.

A chronological map of the fetal brain reveals when key cells emerge and provides clues about autism and cancer.

Not only do our brains appear to generate new neurons into adulthood, but those of superagers contain far more brain cells in development than those of healthy peers, new research has found. According ...

A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...

For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system?

"Super-agers" seem to produce more new nerve cells in a brain region important for memory than other people their age ...

An international research team has provided an unprecedented look at how gene regulation evolves during human brain development, showing how the 3D structure of chromatin—DNA and proteins—plays a ...

Neuroscientists propose a new theory of brain development where cells organize based on lineage rather than long-range signals.

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 ...

How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

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 ...
