The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are ...

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.

We have long believed that brain growth stops and aging begins once we pass the age of 20. However, a study by British ...

We may consider 18- or 21-year-olds adults, but new research suggests the brain isn’t fully developed or stable until our late 20s or even early 30s.

A microscopic flaw in the brain’s cellular scaffolding can shape brain size for life.

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 ...

WASHINGTON, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious initiative to chart how the many types of brain cells emerge and mature from the earliest embryonic and fetal stages ...

The human brain undergoes significant development during the final prenatal months and through the first year of life. And while scientists have begun to map the developmental trajectories of this ...

A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence ...

The brain implant is an ultra-thin chip designed to create a fast, wireless link between the human brain and artificial ...
