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

The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...

The neonatal period, which is defined as the first 28 days after birth, is known to be a crucial stage in the development of the human brain. During this stage, the brain is known to grow ...

The 25 number became popular off the back of brain imaging studies from the late 1990s and early 2000s. These studies often tracked changes through childhood and adolescence and showed that the brain ...

The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind ...

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, ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this process possible. Among the discoveries is PEDS1, a gene now linked to a ...

Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

Given the complexity of the process, it’s astonishing any human has ever mastered the ability to read. Although written language is ancient — we’ve been at it for roughly 5,000 years — it’s not an ...

A recent study published in Environmental Research suggests that breathing polluted air may alter the physical development of ...
