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

UCLA Health researchers have created a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism spectrum disorder affect early brain development, providing new insights ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Brain development does not end at 25 but continues into the early 30s as neural networks become more efficient and ...

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

Within the first year of life, the brain triples in size, reaching 90% of its adult size by age six. In this week's Therapy Thursday, therapist Kaydee Norton with Sunbeam Family Services discusses the ...

The brain has five major structural phases during the human lifespan and doesn't reach adulthood until age 32, a new study suggests. Scientists determined that brain development is defined by four ...

Early brain development is a biological black box. While scientists have devised multiple ways to record electrical signals in adult brains, these techniques don’t work for embryos. A team at Harvard ...

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 ...
