The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are a visual icon for intelligence itself. Peeling back the layers of this ...

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

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 ...

Not only do our brains appear to generate new neurons into adulthood, but those of superagers contain far more brain cells in development than those of healthy peers, new research has found. According ...

Tal Sharf (right, senior author), Tjiste van der Molen (middle, postdoctoral researcher), and Greg Kaurala (left, staff researcher). Humans have long wondered when and how we begin to form thoughts.

Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School, working with collaborators at Imperial College London and partners in Europe and the United States, have uncovered new insights into how an additional copy of ...

On the occasion of Rare Disease Day, the Biofisika Institute (CSIC, EHU) presents the progress of a project aimed at understanding the molecular origin of CTNNB1 neurodevelopmental syndrome, a rare ...

Comparison between human brain surface MRI reconstructions and ferret brain simulations for the cortical malformation polymicrogyria. A simple set of physical rules, including the relative thickness ...
