Learn the new science of brain development and discover the importance of connections and learning for ongoing brain health.

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

A team of researchers has created a 3D atlas of developing mice brains, providing a more dynamic understanding of how the mammalian brain develops. This atlas provides a common reference and ...

Human brains still react to chimp voices, hinting at a deep evolutionary link in how we recognize sound.

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and Yale University have created a multidimensional, molecular map of how the mouse brain develops after birth and how it reacts to inflammation. The study, which ...

Brain-imaging data collected from fetuses and infants has revealed a rapid surge in functional connectivity between brain regions on a global scale at birth, possibly reflecting neural processes that ...

In a May study published in Nature, the BrainGate research consortium — which includes researchers from Brown, Stanford University and Case Western Reserve University — presented a new system of brain ...

Before a person is even born, the brain has undergone intense expansion and growth in its complexity. This dramatic development continues into the first years of childhood. After an early boom period, ...

In a paper published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, researchers have mapped how stress events during pregnancy can affect the neuroimmune landscape of the developing foetal brain. Are you ...
