This could be pivotal to helping people of all ages.

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

Scientists have outlined the five factors that are key to an infant's brain development during their first year of life. Good nutrition, a stimulating environment, a safe neighborhood, positive ...

Previous research has found that the human brain reaches maturity sometime in the 20s, but a new study suggests that it never stops developing. Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have ...

These images show some of the testing done with newborns as part of the HBCD study. The left side shows a play assessment, which assesses how babies interact with their environment, and the right side ...

Neurodevelopment involves the brain's formation of systems responsible for learning, memory, social skills, and overall function. Critical neurodevelopmental processes such as neurogenesis, synaptic ...

Researchers have built the first-ever molecular atlas of the human brain vasculature at single-cell resolution, spanning from early development to adulthood and through disease stages such as brain ...

Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively builds dense new clusters of synapses in specific parts of neurons. These ...

The first year of life is critical for brain development, with the brain forming new connections at an astonishing rate of one million per second. The caregiver’s ability to interact with their ...
