There’s this idea that something happens in the human brain when we turn 25. Suddenly, we can rent a car without fees. Make ...

Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively ...

Researchers from Kyushu University discovered a previously unrecognized synaptic "hotspot" that forms during adolescence, ...

The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind ...

A genome-wide CRISPR study maps 331 genes essential for early brain development, identifying PEDS1 as a new ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

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

A new study maps how prenatal stress alters immune signalling in the developing brain at a level of detail not seen before ...

The 25 number became popular off the back of brain imaging studies from the late 1990s and early 2000s. These studies often tracked changes through childhood and adolescence and showed that the brain ...

Scientists have discovered that the human brain goes through five major phases of development from infancy to old age. In one of the largest studies of its kind, researchers analysed brain scans from ...
