Brain development does not end at 25 but continues into the early 30s as neural networks become more efficient and ...

Cambridge researchers have revealed a detailed picture of how the human brain grows from mid-pregnancy through the first ...

Memory dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease may be linked to impairment in how the brain replays our recent experiences while ...

The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this process possible. Among the discoveries is PEDS1, a gene now linked to a ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

During brain development, neurons extend long processes called axons. Axons link different areas of the brain and carry signals within it and to the rest of the body. Growing axons "wire up" the brain ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. What if our entire planet were to grow a consciousness? The human race finds itself aboard a ...

A new mouse study suggests some cancers release signals that help the brain clear Alzheimer’s-linked proteins, offering clues ...

Scientists have found that the human brain understands spoken language in a surprisingly similar way to advanced AI systems.
