A lot of brain development happens early in life, but researchers don't have a strong understanding of how a baby's brain ...
When a baby enters the world, their brain contains billions of neurons awaiting connection. The first 1,000 days of life, from conception to age two, represent a critical period where over 85% of ...
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 ...
The Huntington's disease (HD) mutation eventually causes a fatal brain disease in adulthood, but a new study finds that early in life, children with the HD mutation have bigger brains and higher IQ ...
We have long believed that brain growth halts and aging begins once we pass the age of 20. However, a study by British university researchers analyzing brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data has ...
A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence ...
The claim that the brain, and particularly the frontal lobe, finishes developing at 25 is far less solid than social media ...
Rather than thinking that adolescence ends at 18, groundbreaking brain research has shown that critical brain developmental ...
The genetic mutation that causes Huntington’s disease (HD) – a devastating brain disease that disrupts mobility and diminishes cognitive ability – may also enhance early brain development and play a ...
