There's a lot going on in your baby's brain before age 5. Here's why experts call it a critical time for setting up a child's ability to thrive ...

These researchers had already found that nearly 70% of newborn baboons, like human babies, had early asymmetry in the planum temporale(PT)area of the brain. The PT, which is also a key area for ...

Researchers discovered that autism’s prevalence may be linked to human brain evolution. Specific neurons in the outer brain evolved rapidly, and autism-linked genes changed under natural selection.

Researchers at the University of Exeter have created a detailed temporal map of chemical changes to DNA through development and aging of the human brain, offering new insights into how conditions such ...

Johns Hopkins University researchers have grown a novel whole-brain organoid, complete with neural tissues and rudimentary blood vessels—an advance that could usher in a new era of research into ...

but it does not affect other aspects of brain development. The study appears in Nature. "We were surprised to see that the anatomy of the brain is totally intact—the synapses are there, but they fail ...
