A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

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

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In ...

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

The first years of our lives are critical when it comes to brain development and cognition. But reading books and learning times tables can only go so far when driving this cognitive development. Our ...

In a new study, Yale researchers offer a look into how infants’ brains work and change over time, and how these processes can be disrupted by preterm birth. The findings, the researchers say, could ...

The morphogenesis of brain folding patterns across species is studied by physical gel models, simulations, and a quantitative morphometric analysis.

Decades of research show that early psychosocial stress, including chronic exposure to adversity, can shape how a child's brain develops, with effects that last well beyond childhood. But families ...
