Brain development does not end at 25 but continues into the early 30s as neural networks become more efficient and specialized. Spend enough time scrolling through TikTok or Instagram and you will ...

Learn the new science of brain development and discover the importance of connections and learning for ongoing brain health.

Memory dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease may be linked to impairment in how the brain replays our recent experiences while ...

The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...

Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...

Cambridge researchers have revealed a detailed picture of how the human brain grows from mid-pregnancy through the first ...

Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new Yale-led study shows that, early in development, molecular “traffic cops” known ...

During brain development, neurons extend long processes called axons. Axons link different areas of the brain and carry signals within it and to the rest of the body. Growing axons "wire up" the brain ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

Scientists have found that the human brain understands spoken language in a surprisingly similar way to advanced AI systems.
