The hippocampus follows a "tabula plena" model, starting with dense, random connections that are pruned into an efficient ...

Clinicians use electroencephalography (EEG) to assess brain activity in epilepsy and sleep pathologies, and this powerful ...

A cellular-resolution map of prenatal brain development in Down syndrome reveals disrupted neuron production timing and altered cell types.

Adolescence is widely thought to be a time when the brain trims away excess neural connections, refining circuits through synaptic pruning. New research now suggests this view may be incomplete.

In about one out of every 1,000 pregnancies, the neural tube, a key nervous system structure, fails to close properly.

Scientists at UCLA have created one of the first cellular-resolution molecular maps detailing how Down syndrome alters human ...

The brain has five major structural phases during the human lifespan and doesn't reach adulthood until age 32, a new study suggests. Scientists determined that brain development is defined by four ...

A study suggesting that the human brain enters a stable phase around age 32 has people in their 20s feeling validated. University of Cambridge neuroscientists released their research results on ...

Researchers from the Paris Brain Institute and Sainte-Justine University Hospital in Montreal have, for the first time, ...

A study of more than 11,000 teens finds cannabis use tied to slower gains in memory, focus and thinking speed as well as ...
