By Dr. Liji Thomas, MD By seamlessly tracking brain growth from the womb into early life, researchers uncover when key brain regions surge and how subtle sex differences emerge before birth. Study: ...

University of North Carolina-led researchers have used brain connectivity charts built from functional MRI data as a tool for tracking early childhood brain development. Charts mapped the maturation ...

A new MRI technique called Velocity Spectrum Imaging can map fluid movement in the human brain within a 3D pixel, according ...

New findings from Karolinska Institutet reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during ...

The Center for Neuroscience Imaging Research (CNIR) in the Institute of Basic Science (IBS), Suwon, Korea, is developing new neuroimaging approaches to explore biophysics, physiology, and biology, and ...

The neonatal period, which is defined as the first 28 days after birth, is known to be a crucial stage in the development of the human brain. During this stage, the brain is known to grow ...

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 ...

A representative MRI tractography image of the first era of the human brain. This image is representative of the general pattern seen across the brains in the study during the third era of neural ...

Somerville, Mass.-based Mass General Brigham has developed a new AI foundation model that can extract disease risk signals from routine brain MRIs. The model was trained on nearly 49,000 brain MRI ...

(THE CONVERSATION) Going to space is harsh on the human body, and as a new study from our research team finds, the brain shifts upward and backward and deforms inside the skull after spaceflight.
