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.

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 ...

Scientists have revealed the exact age your brain starts to decline. Researchers from the University of Cambridge compared brain scans of 3,802 people aged between 0 and 90. Their analysis revealed ...

Teachers are increasingly encouraged to become amateur neuroscientists. For the last decade, educational materials have promoted neuroplasticity, the brain’s capacity for adaptation, as the key to ...

The brain goes through five distinct phases in life, with key turning points at ages nine, 32, 66 and 83, scientists have revealed. Around 4,000 people up to the age of 90 had scans to reveal the ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

Brain growth and maturation doesn't progress in a linear, stepwise fashion. Instead, it's a dynamic, choreographed sequence that shifts in response to genetics and external stimuli like sight and ...

Mice turning tiny steering wheels to move shapes on a screen have helped scientists produce the first brain-wide map of decision-making at single-cell resolution in a mammal. For decades, most ...
