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

Learn the new science of brain development and discover the importance of connections and learning for ongoing brain health.

There’s this idea that something happens in the human brain when we turn 25. Suddenly, we can rent a car without fees. Make ...

University of North Carolina-led researchers have used brain connectivity charts built from functional MRI data as a tool for tracking early childhood brain development. Charts mapped the maturation ...

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene linked to a severe neurodevelopmental disorder not previously described.

The connections a baby's brain forms during the first two years of life, coupled with a baby's genetic makeup, offer a window into their development. Cedars-Sinai pediatric neurologists, developmental ...

Scientists uncover new synapse hotspots in the teen brain, challenging the old theory of synaptic pruning and its link to schizophrenia.

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

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 has found that children exposed to higher levels of air pollution in early and mid childhood have weaker connections between key brain regions. The findings highlight the potential impact ...
