Scientists mapped human brain development in Down syndrome at a cellular level, discovering that stem cells "rush" to become ...

Studying the process of brain formation illuminates just how much of development is a series of tiny miracles. Only a few weeks after a human egg is fertilized, a sheet of cells called the neural ...

Scientists at UCLA have created one of the first cellular-resolution molecular maps detailing how Down syndrome alters human ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai report that early-life exposure to common environmental metals may ...

In about one out of every 1,000 pregnancies, the neural tube, a key nervous system structure, fails to close properly.

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious initiative to chart how the many types of brain cells emerge and mature from the earliest embryonic and fetal stages until ...

The relationships we form as adults often echo those we had with our parents. According to attachment theory—one of the most influential frameworks in contemporary psychology—this is no coincidence: ...

Scientists have made a major advance in developmental neuroscience, creating the very first detailed atlas of how the vascular network of a mouse's brain grows after birth. Their study is published in ...

Both models feature animals genetically predisposed to absence seizures that consistently and reliably develop absence epilepsy across their lifespan. In both models, the researchers focused their ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Given the complexity of the process, it’s astonishing any human has ever mastered the ability to read. Although written language ...
