The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are a visual icon for intelligence itself. Peeling back the layers of this ...

A team of researchers has created a 3D atlas of developing mice brains, providing a more dynamic understanding of how the mammalian brain develops. This atlas provides a common reference and ...

A 3D atlas of developing mice brains using advanced imaging and microscopy techniques has been created by a team of researchers at Penn State College of Medicine and collaborators from five different ...

The first steps, the first words, a favorite toy or a birthday — most people can't remember almost anything from the first ...

Learn how your brain's natural tendency towards negativity impacts negotiation and how to overcome it.

Tal Sharf (right, senior author), Tjiste van der Molen (middle, postdoctoral researcher), and Greg Kaurala (left, staff researcher). Humans have long wondered when and how we begin to form thoughts.

Past psychology studies have consistently highlighted the importance of social bonds for survival, showing that enduring ...

Studying the process of brain formation illuminates just how much of development is a series of tiny miracles. Only a few weeks after a human egg is fertilized, a sheet of cells called the neural ...

A new genetic screening method allows researchers to efficiently modulate individual genes across entire tissues and provides new insights into human development. The research, published in eLife, is ...

Comparison between human brain surface MRI reconstructions and ferret brain simulations for the cortical malformation polymicrogyria. A simple set of physical rules, including the relative thickness ...
