Brain development does not end at 25 but continues into the early 30s as neural networks become more efficient and ...

Neurodevelopment involves the brain's formation of systems responsible for learning, memory, social skills, and overall function. Critical neurodevelopmental processes such as neurogenesis, synaptic ...

Early brain development is a biological black box. While scientists have devised multiple ways to record electrical signals in adult brains, these techniques don’t work for embryos. A team at Harvard ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

How does our brain, which is capable of generating complex thoughts, actions and even self-reflection, grow out of essentially nothing? An experiment in tadpoles, in which an electronic implant was ...

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...

The human brain is complex. Understanding deep brain function usually requires the insertion of probes that frequently result ...

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In ...
