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

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 ...

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help ...

A team of researchers has created a 3D atlas of developing mice brains, providing a more dynamic understanding of how the mammalian brain develops. This atlas provides a common reference and ...

New neuroscience research reveals how our brains evolve through key life stages, highlighting the hidden strengths of aging.

Not only do our brains appear to generate new neurons into adulthood, but those of superagers contain far more brain cells in development than those of healthy peers, new research has found. According ...

Study maps five major eras of brain wiring from birth to old age, revealing the key turning points that shape how we learn, ...

Imagine if keeping your brain in top shape was as routine as brushing your teeth in the morning or exercising before work. Brain health is more than simply the absence of disease; it is the state of ...

HERSHEY, Pa. — A 3D atlas of developing mice brains using advanced imaging and microscopy techniques has been created by a team of researchers at Penn State College of Medicine and collaborators from ...
