Models of how the brain changes over time could help researchers to understand how diseases affect the organ later in life.

A scientific team has shown that, under the right circumstances, 3D cell culture models of human brain tissue, known as ...

Brain organoids have been grown and studied for five years, the longest time to date, and their activity suggests they had a ...

Researchers theorize that further investigation into the stem cell niche—the microenvironment containing nearby cells, blood vessels, signaling molecules, and other structures—could create more robust ...

Over a decade ago, scientists redefined how to study organ development by generating seemingly unremarkable clumps of cells. They dubbed them organoids: organ-like microstructures produced using stem ...

When a baby enters the world, their brain contains billions of neurons awaiting connection. The first 1,000 days of life, from conception to age two, represent a critical period where over 85% of ...

Researchers have investigated brain development to understand how different areas of the brain become specialized in handling information such as vision, sound, touch and planning. In a new study ...

The human brain undergoes significant development during the final prenatal months and through the first year of life. And while scientists have begun to map the developmental trajectories of this ...

A surprising stress-related signal may help the brain repair itself after injury. Researchers found that myelin-producing precursor cells rapidly release the stress hormone CRH near damaged brain ...

A new study led by a Duke University scientist overturns a long-held idea about how primates, including humans, came to have ...

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

Are you worried about whether your child is getting everything they need for their brain to grow and develop properly? It’s a ...
