By editing thousands of genes in mouse stem cells, the scientists identified a list of over 300 that are crucial for neural differentiation.

We have long believed that brain growth stops and aging begins once we pass the age of 20. However, a study by British ...

If you scroll through TikTok or Instagram long enough, you'll inevitably stumble across the line: "Your frontal lobe isn't ...

Researchers have investigated how highly organized patterns of neural activity emerge during development. Published in Nature Communications, an international collaboration between researchers at the ...

The human brain grows in size and creates new neural pathways during the first nine years of life, which begin at birth. The ...

For over a decade, neuroscientists have been trying to figure out how neurogenesis (the birth of new neurons) and neuroplasticity (the malleability of neural circuits) work together to reshape how we ...

Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cells, or OPCs (the purple and green blobs above), prune unneeded synapses (the silver streaks) in the brain’s visual cortex in response to new information and experiences.

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...
