The team of researchers led by Prof. Kristian Franze found that increasing tissue stiffness induces the expression of chemical signals that are typically absent in those regions. Semaphorin 3A is one ...

Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new Yale-led study shows that, early in development, molecular “traffic cops” known ...

Newborn finger proportions may reflect early hormone exposure and could be linked to differences in early brain growth.

Children who spent a lot of time on screens before the age of two showed changes in brain development that were later linked ...

Both models feature animals genetically predisposed to absence seizures that consistently and reliably develop absence epilepsy across their lifespan. In both models, the researchers focused their ...

Researchers at the University of Exeter have created a detailed temporal map of chemical changes to DNA through development and aging of the human brain, offering new insights into how conditions such ...

Male and female brains begin developing differently in the womb. Here's how genetics, hormones, and prenatal biology shape brain structure, behaviour, and mental health outcomes before birth.

Youth with related behavior challenges may have trouble moving between different brain states, according to a new study from ...

Scientists are discovering that our tendency to develop certain phobias might be written in our DNA before we even encounter the things that terrify us. Evidence from twin studies suggests that ...
