A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...

Researchers identify that the brain's sensory checkpoint (TRN) undergoes a molecular "upgrade" in adulthood for high-resolution perception.

Dr. Frances Jensen ’78, acclaimed author of The Teenage Brain, will speak at a colloquium on Thursday, March 12 at 5 p.m. in ...

A study in the journal Science presents compelling new evidence that neurons in the brain’s memory centre, the hippocampus, continue to form well into late adulthood. The research from Karolinska ...

Not only do our brains appear to generate new neurons into adulthood, but those of superagers contain far more brain cells in ...

When a baby enters the world, their brain contains billions of neurons awaiting connection. The first 1,000 days of life, from conception to age two, represent a critical period where over 85% of ...

Exposure to a diet heavy in fats and sugars during early development primes the brain to overreact to unhealthy foods in adulthood. This combination leads to high levels of inflammation and reduced ...

That viral claim that your frontal lobe “isn’t fully developed until 25” turns out to be more myth than milestone. Early brain scans showed that gray matter changes dramatically through the teen years ...

A new study finds that brain changes are not a steady progression; instead, distinct neural rewiring occurs around ages 9, 32, 66, and 83. A new study of brain MRIs has pinpointed four major turning ...

Researchers from the University of Oxford have created the first high-resolution molecular atlas of the adult Drosophila ...
