Researchers uncover evidence that the gut microbiome and brain connection can influence brain gene expression and neural ...

The human brain is a greedy organ. It gulps energy, demands constant upkeep, and somehow grew far larger (relative to body ...

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

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...

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 ...

New research shows gut bacteria can directly influence how the brain develops and functions. When scientists transferred ...

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene ...

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 ...

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 ...
