A sweeping genetic screen reveals how the brain is built and exposes a hidden gene behind a newly discovered childhood brain ...

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 ...

The brain has five major structural phases during the human lifespan and doesn't reach adulthood until age 32, a new study suggests. Scientists determined that brain development is defined by four ...

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene ...

The brain goes through five distinct stages between birth and death, a new study shows. Scientists identified the average ages—9, 32, 66 and 83—when the pattern of connections inside our brains shift.

A study suggesting that the human brain enters a stable phase around age 32 has people in their 20s feeling validated. University of Cambridge neuroscientists released their research results on ...

Growing evidence suggests that the key to treating Alzheimer's is catching it in its earliest stages. Now scientists have developed a promising new drug that seems to be effective at stalling the ...

A new study identifies certain neurotoxins responsible for brain inflammation common to early on-set Alzheimer's disease and an oral medication that treats it.

The origin of some neuropsychiatric diseases, such as autism, bipolar disorder, or depression, and certain neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, can be found in very early stages of ...

A large-scale international study, led by researchers from the Gray Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at Tel Aviv ...
