Early in life, neural networks in the brain's memory center are highly connected, and they are only later refined into ...

Greater consumption of ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) in early childhood is associated with brain development by age 6 years, ...

In humans, the process of learning is driven by different groups of cells in the brain firing together. For instance, when the neurons associated with the process of recognizing a dog begin to fire in ...

Newborn brain scans reveal how autism-related genetic variants influence early neural wiring, offering fresh insights into the origins of neurodevelopmental differences. Research: Autism common ...

When babies are born, their brains contain billions of neurons. But how those neurons interact — and what they can do as babies grow through childhood into adulthood — is largely shaped by their ...
