Scaling relationships emerge from differential growth of body parts relative to each other. As such, scaling relationships are at least in part the product of developmental plasticity. While some of ...

Postnatal development of the brain after birth is characterized by temporary, function-specific windows of high plasticity (critical or sensitive periods). During these phases, certain areas of the ...

Immune cells called B cells make antibodies that fight off invading bacteria, viruses and other foreign substances. During ...

Brain development does not occur uniformly across the brain, but follows a newly identified developmental sequence, according to a new Penn Medicine study. Brain regions that support cognitive, social ...

A single microscopic change in our DNA can permanently alter how the brain is built, locking in developmental problems that ...

Researchers have now uncovered their crucial role in closing the period of brain plasticity that follows birth, finding them to be key to the development of sensory and cognitive faculties. Over the ...

We are seeking postdoctoral associates that are passionate about optimizing and developing novel genomics and biochemical tools in both C. elegans and mouse nervous system to profile their molecular ...

Astrocytes are cells in the brain which have long been considered only as mere support cells for neurons. In recent years, the study of astrocytes has grown, gradually revealing their importance in ...
