Adolescence may be far more than a period of pruning away unused brain connections. New research suggests the teenage brain ...

The detailed mapping revealed an unexpected pattern. One specific section of the dendrite contained an unusually dense ...

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

The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind for life. Adolescence is a major turning point not only for social and ...

Adolescence marks an important transition not just socially and physically, but neurologically. During this period, higher cognitive ...

This image shows densely accumulated dendritic spines. Researchers from Kyushu University discovered a previously unrecognized synaptic “hotspot” that forms during adolescence, challenging the ...

Abstract: This paper reports a multi-scale micro/nano hierarchical dendritic mesh wick (HDMW). This structure controls the gradient deposition of dendrites through the generation and migration of ...
