To evaluate whether late-onset fetal growth restriction (LO-FGR) is associated with distinct alterations in cortical sulcation and midline brain structures compared with small-for-gestational-age (SGA ...

Neuroanatomical changes to the cortex during adolescence have been well documented using MRI, revealing ongoing cortical thinning and volume loss. Recent advances in MRI hardware and biophysical ...

The cerebral cortex, the brain's outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, layered structure. Its proper development requires newly generated neurons to ...

Glutamine synthetase(GS) acts as a key regular of postnatal brain development, integrating metabolic control via the mTOR pathway to coordinate cell-specific gene expression, protein synthesis,and ...

Combining microscopy, scanning, and deep learning enables more precise imaging of functional dynamics in neural networks of human cortical organoids.

The brain is known to develop gradually throughout the human lifespan, following a hierarchical pattern. First, it adapts to support basic functions, such as movement and sensory perception, then it ...

Newborn nerve cells must squeeze through crowded, narrow spaces—through dense tissue, past other cells, and between fibers—to ...

Researchers discover that diverse genetic causes of autism converge on shared cell types and temporary maturation delays during early brain development.
