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

Researchers now suggest that the human brain goes through five distinct phases of development over the course of a lifetime.

This could be pivotal to helping people of all ages.

Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively builds dense new clusters of synapses in specific parts of neurons. These ...

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

When a baby enters the world, their brain contains billions of neurons awaiting connection. The first 1,000 days of life, from conception to age two, represent a critical period where over 85% of ...

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

Gabby Voit at UWM studies zebrafish embryonic development to gain insights into human brain development and genetic mutations related to fertility issues. Her research could help understand ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

Gifu University scientists have uncovered how a brain-specific enzyme reshapes protein-linked sugar chains to facilitate the formation of complex glycans essential for normal brain function. These ...
