Scientists have uncovered a surprising principle behind the brain's intricate development from a single cell. Researchers ...
Humans take nearly 18 to 25 years to reach full maturity, far longer than most mammals. This slow human growth is driven by brain evolution, higher cognitive demand, and long childhood learning. Human ...
In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...
Parts of the brain are "rewired" when people learn computer programming, according to new research. Scientists watched university students’ brains as they learned to code. The team used functional ...
Brain organoid models have greatly facilitated our understanding of human brain development and disease. However, key brain cell types, such as microglia, are lacking in most brain organoid models.

Plastic particles smaller than a grain of sand have been found lodged in human brain tissue at concentrations that dwarf ...
The neurophysiological mechanisms supporting brain maturation are fundamental to attention and memory capacity across the lifespan. Human brain regions develop at different rates, with many regions ...
The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are observed in no other animal species. For centuries, scientists have been trying ...
