Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...
Researchers mapped early brain growth from mid-pregnancy to the first month after birth and found signs that sex-linked differences emerge surprisingly early.
Cambridge researchers have revealed a detailed picture of how the human brain grows from mid-pregnancy through the first ...
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 brain development, neurons extend long processes called axons. Axons link different areas of the brain and carry signals within it and to the rest of the body. Growing axons "wire up" the brain ...
The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...
Brain microphysiological systems are reshaping in vitro neurotoxicity testing through functional validation and advanced ...
Scientists in South Korea have discovered that one of the most common malignant brain tumors in young adults may begin years ...
