The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are ...

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.

We have long believed that brain growth stops and aging begins once we pass the age of 20. However, a study by British ...

A microscopic flaw in the brain’s cellular scaffolding can shape brain size for life.

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 ...

Rather than thinking that adolescence ends at 18, groundbreaking brain research has shown that critical brain developmental ...

A cutting-edge laboratory technique that turns human stem cells into brain-like tissue now recapitulates human brain development more accurately than ever, according to a new study from Case Western ...

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 human brain undergoes significant development during the final prenatal months and through the first year of life. And while scientists have begun to map the developmental trajectories of this ...

The brain implant is an ultra-thin chip designed to create a fast, wireless link between the human brain and artificial ...
