Scientists mapped human brain development in Down syndrome at a cellular level, discovering that stem cells "rush" to become ...

A cellular-resolution map of prenatal brain development in Down syndrome reveals disrupted neuron production timing and altered cell types.

Scientists at UCLA have created one of the first cellular-resolution molecular maps detailing how Down syndrome alters human brain development before birth—a resource that resolves longstanding ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...

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 ...

Researchers discovered that autism’s prevalence may be linked to human brain evolution. Specific neurons in the outer brain evolved rapidly, and autism-linked genes changed under natural selection.

Researchers from the Paris Brain Institute and Sainte-Justine University Hospital in Montreal have, for the first time, ...

The human brain has grown throughout evolution, and researchers have long sought to understand why. A new peer-reviewed study from Swansea University, published in Early Human Development, indicates ...

Neuroscience reveals the brain is shaped through relationships—not in isolation—challenging individualistic psychiatry and ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Given the complexity of the process, it’s astonishing any human has ever mastered the ability to read. Although written language ...
