Researchers now suggest that the human brain goes through five distinct phases of development over the course of a lifetime.

Duke University Medical Center-led research has identified a human-specific DNA enhancer that regulates neural progenitor proliferation and cortical size. Small genetic changes in HARE5 amplify a key ...

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 ...

Brain microphysiological systems are reshaping in vitro neurotoxicity testing through functional validation and advanced ...

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 ...

1. Childhood, from birth to age 9, during which time the brain is continually pruning away haphazardly created synaptic connections forged as early learning, unlearning and relearning chaotically ...

The brain’s hemispheres are specialized for efficiency. Modern neuroscience shows lateralization enhances function without ...
