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

The 25 number became popular off the back of brain imaging studies from the late 1990s and early 2000s. These studies often tracked changes through childhood and adolescence and showed that the brain ...

Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively ...

The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

Researchers from Kyushu University discovered a previously unrecognized synaptic "hotspot" that forms during adolescence, ...

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

Adolescents have long engaged in high-risk behaviors and poor decisions. Now we know that it's got a lot to do with what's ...

The process of “epigenetic memory” in nerve cells plays a key role in learning ability, memory function, and healthy brain ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development ...
