Brain organoids can be a good step forward, assuming they are grown from induced human pluripotent stem cells. That allows us to sidestep ethical concerns about the use of human embryos, thereby ...

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 ...

The human brain goes through five distinct stages of development during the average human lifetime, with measurable key turning points as we grow, mature, age and decline, new research suggests.

There is new hope for people who have lost their smell. Scientists have successfully tested a breakthrough device that lets people detect the presence of certain odors. This innovative system helps ...

In one of the most comprehensive studies of its kind, scientists from the University of Cambridge have found that the brain progresses in five “major epochs” or eras over the course of a human life.

The human brain is not a hard-wired machine but a malleable organ that is regularly re-shaping itself. Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge in the UK and the University of Pittsburgh in the ...

Scientists have discovered the human brain goes through five different phases of life, with key turning points at four different ages. These "major turning points" occur around the ages of 9, 32, 66 ...

The scientists said understanding the brain's structural journey "will help us identify when and how its wiring is vulnerable to disruption" in future. The human brain goes through five major stages ...
