New findings from Karolinska Institutet reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during ...

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 ...

Newborn finger proportions may reflect early hormone exposure and could be linked to differences in early brain growth.

New research suggests that hormones before birth may have played a role in the development of the human brain.

There’s a lot to love about brains. They are arguably the most complex organ in the entire human body. 86 billion neurons send electrical and chemical signals back and forth within your brain to ...

The brain has five major structural phases during the human lifespan and doesn't reach adulthood until age 32, a new study suggests. Scientists determined that brain development is defined by four ...

Computer programming powers modern society and enabled the artificial intelligence revolution, but little is known about how our brains learn this essential skill. To help answer that question, Johns ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

Brain microphysiological systems are reshaping in vitro neurotoxicity testing through functional validation and advanced ...

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...
