Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...

An international research team has provided an unprecedented look at how gene regulation evolves during human brain development, showing how the 3D structure of chromatin—DNA and proteins—plays a ...

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are ...

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, ...

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 ...

During human brain development, multiple morphogens and signaling pathways interact, and so it's hard to tease out how each component contributes to development individually. In the patterned brain ...

A cutting-edge laboratory technique that turns human stem cells into brain-like tissue now recapitulates human brain development more accurately than ever, according to a new study from Case Western ...

The human brain undergoes significant development during the final prenatal months and through the first year of life. And while scientists have begun to map the developmental trajectories of this ...

We have long believed that brain growth stops and aging begins once we pass the age of 20. However, a study by British ...

According to a new study published by researchers at Yale and the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, some of the same molecular changes that occur in brain inflammation also happen during normal ...
