A sweeping genetic screen reveals how the brain is built and exposes a hidden gene behind a newly discovered childhood brain ...

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In ...

Parents today are paying closer attention to children's brain development, from nutrition to screen habits. A paediatrician ...

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 ...

When babies are born, their brains contain billions of neurons. But how those neurons interact — and what they can do as babies grow through childhood into adulthood — is largely shaped by their ...

New research following children for more than a decade links high screen exposure before age two to accelerated brain maturation, slower decision-making, and increased anxiety by adolescence.

Within the first year of life, the brain triples in size, reaching 90% of its adult size by age six. In this week's Therapy Thursday, therapist Kaydee Norton with Sunbeam Family Services discusses the ...

Early brain development is a biological black box. While scientists have devised multiple ways to record electrical signals in adult brains, these techniques don’t work for embryos. A team at Harvard ...

A long-term study shows how screen time in babies may alter brain development and increase vulnerability to anxiety years ...

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 ...
