An international research team has provided an unprecedented look at how gene regulation evolves during human brain development, showing how the 3D structure of chromatin—DNA and proteins—plays a ...

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

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

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, ...

Brain scans of thousands of people revealed that the human brain has five distinct eras, with turning points in the way it is ...

In early childhood, growth charts are used to monitor the height, weight and head circumference, serving as a screening tool to identify physical development. During this window of time, between early ...

A cutting-edge laboratory technique that turns human stem cells into brain-like tissue now recapitulates human brain development more accurately than ever, according to a new study from Case Western ...

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 ...

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

Human brains are built to grow for years, yet for some children that growth is cut short, leaving them with smaller heads, developmental delays and lifelong disability. Scientists are now closing in ...

According to a new study published by researchers at Yale and the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, some of the same molecular changes that occur in brain inflammation also happen during normal ...
