Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively ...
The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind ...
The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.
Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal transmission between brain cells functions very reliably even at low ...
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's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...
Studies of the spatiotemporal, transcriptomic, and morphological diversity of radial glia (RG) have spurred our current models of human corticogenesis. In the developing cortex, neural intermediate ...
The human brain ages less than thought and in layers – at least in the area of the cerebral cortex responsible for the sense of touch. Researchers at DZNE, the University of Magdeburg, and the Hertie ...
