Researchers found three master genes that alter brain development in Down syndrome, offering new clues about learning and memory differences.

How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory postdoc Stan Kerstjens and colleagues have devised a new theory for how the brain organizes ...

New research from the University of Wyoming reveals that the brain cells that control hunger may be far more adaptable during prenatal brain development than scientists previously believed. This ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious initiative to chart how the many types of brain cells emerge and mature from the earliest embryonic and fetal stages until ...

Neuroscientists propose a new theory of brain development where cells organize based on lineage rather than long-range signals.

Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? Cold ...

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 ...

A study introduces a scalable 2D human neuron platform to probe how brain-like rhythms emerge and how specific drugs reshape them, aiding epilepsy and autism research.

Expert birders show denser brain tissue in attention and visual regions, suggesting the skill may help slow certain aspects ...

Neurodevelopmental conditions like autism and ADHD disproportionately affect males, with some estimating boys are four times as likely to be diagnosed as girls. Theories suggest this gender gap may be ...
