New neuroscience research reveals how our brains evolve through key life stages, highlighting the hidden strengths of aging.

How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

Not only do our brains appear to generate new neurons into adulthood, but those of superagers contain far more brain cells in development than those of healthy peers, new research has found. According ...

Previous research has found that the human brain reaches maturity sometime in the 20s, but a new study suggests that it never stops developing. Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have ...

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 ...

Neuroscientists propose a new theory of brain development where cells organize based on lineage rather than long-range signals.

A cutting-edge laboratory technique that turns human stem cells into brain-like tissue now recapitulates human brain development more accurately than ever, according to a new study from Case Western ...
