There’s this idea that something happens in the human brain when we turn 25. Suddenly, we can rent a car without fees. Make ...

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

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

A sweeping genetic screen reveals how the brain is built and exposes a hidden gene behind a newly discovered childhood brain ...

The brain has five major structural phases during the human lifespan and doesn't reach adulthood until age 32, a new study suggests. Scientists determined that brain development is defined by four ...

Previous research has found that the human brain reaches maturity sometime in the 20s, but a new study suggests that it never stops developing. Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have ...

A study suggesting that the human brain enters a stable phase around age 32 has people in their 20s feeling validated. University of Cambridge neuroscientists released their research results on ...

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 ...

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

Given the complexity of the process, it’s astonishing any human has ever mastered the ability to read. Although written language is ancient — we’ve been at it for roughly 5,000 years — it’s not an ...

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene ...
