Researchers mapped early brain growth from mid-pregnancy to the first month after birth and found signs that sex-linked differences emerge surprisingly early.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious initiative to chart how the many types of brain cells emerge and mature from the earliest embryonic and fetal stages until ...

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 ...

Scientists have shown that brain connectivity patterns can predict mental functions across the entire brain. Each region has a unique “connectivity fingerprint” tied to its role in cognition, from ...

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

Cognitive training can help improve student engagement and performance, while building a foundation for robust brain health in the future.

Scientists are discovering that our tendency to develop certain phobias might be written in our DNA before we even encounter the things that terrify us. Evidence from twin studies suggests that ...

Alzheimer’s memory loss may be linked to disrupted brain activity during rest, when recent experiences are usually replayed ...

Menopause is linked to a loss in gray matter volume, a new study suggests, which may explain why so many older women ...

The Picostim-DyNeuMo research system, made by UK company Amber Therapeutics, is an adaptive neurostimulator seated in the skull with two electrodes placed in targeted brain circuits to sense ...
