University of North Carolina-led researchers have used brain connectivity charts built from functional MRI data as a tool for tracking early childhood brain development. Charts mapped the maturation ...

Multi-electrode arrays (MEAs) provide a noninvasive interface with sub-millisecond temporal resolution and long-term, ...

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are ...

An international research team has provided an unprecedented look at how gene regulation evolves during human brain development, showing how the 3D structure of chromatin—DNA and proteins—plays a ...

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 ...

During human brain development, multiple morphogens and signaling pathways interact, and so it's hard to tease out how each component contributes to development individually. In the patterned brain ...

A cutting-edge laboratory technique that turns human stem cells into brain-like tissue now recapitulates human brain development more accurately than ever, according to a new study from Case Western ...

Human brains are built to grow for years, yet for some children that growth is cut short, leaving them with smaller heads, ...

Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new Yale-led study shows that, early in development, molecular “traffic cops” known ...

Johns Hopkins University researchers have grown a novel whole-brain organoid, complete with neural tissues and rudimentary blood vessels—an advance that could usher in a new era of research into ...
