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

A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...

Neuroscientists propose a new theory of brain development where cells organize based on lineage rather than long-range signals.

Neurodevelopment involves the brain's formation of systems responsible for learning, memory, social skills, and overall function. Critical neurodevelopmental processes such as neurogenesis, synaptic ...

Study argues to move beyond ‘reading genes’ — focus on conserved neural-development networks in humans to improve early screening and identify therapeutic leads.

Examining brain plasticity and its implications for development, aging, and brain injury recovery.

In a new study, researchers discovered that the human brain has four pivotal periods when it goes through marked changes, sparking five "epochs" that last for years. The adolescent phase, for example, ...

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