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.

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 ...

Children exposed to high levels of screen time before age 2 showed changes in brain development that were linked to slower ...

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 ...

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

A team of researchers from the University of Aberdeen has uncovered, for the first time, how genes linked to autism and ...

In a recent study published in Nature, researchers investigate chromatin conformational and epigenomic reorganization during the development of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and hippocampus (HPC). The ...

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 ...

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