A major new review led by Swansea University has highlighted growing evidence that diet in the early years of life may shape ...

A global consortium of scientists has created the first and most detailed "developmental maps" of the mammalian brain (from mouse to human) to date, taking the first critical steps in unraveling the ...

India, June 4 -- Children's experiences may influence brain development far longer than previously appreciated. A new review published in Brain Health introduces the concept of the "criticome"-the ...

That viral claim that your frontal lobe “isn’t fully developed until 25” turns out to be more myth than milestone. Early brain scans showed that gray matter changes dramatically through the teen years ...

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene linked to a severe neurodevelopmental disorder not previously described.

Like the seeds of a forest, a few cells in embryos eventually sprout into an ecosystem of brain cells. Neurons get the most recognition for their computing power. But a host of other cells provides ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have uncovered a previously unrecognized mechanism by which inherited calcium channel mutations disrupt early brain development and predispose children to ...

New research suggests the foundations for reading success begin in toddlerhood. Learn how talking, reading, and word play can ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this process possible. Among the discoveries is PEDS1, a gene now linked to a ...

Organoids have helped create a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism spectrum disorder affect early brain development. This work provides new insights ...
