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 ...

In a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers have identified the neurogenic ...

Male and female brains begin developing differently in the womb. Here's how genetics, hormones, and prenatal biology shape brain structure, behaviour, and mental health outcomes before birth.

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

A research team led by scientists at Queen Mary University of London and University College London (UCL) has found new clues ...

A new study of brain activity patterns in people doing a memory task finds that the way we make inferences changes dramatically as we age. Members of Alison Preston’s research group study fMRI brain ...

Children who spent a lot of time on screens before the age of two showed changes in brain development that were later linked ...

Newborn finger proportions may reflect early hormone exposure and could be linked to differences in early brain growth.

Scientists are discovering that our tendency to develop certain phobias might be written in our DNA before we even encounter the things that terrify us. Evidence from twin studies suggests that ...
