When babies are born, their brains contain billions of neurons. But how those neurons interact — and what they can do as ...

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 ...

Scientists at UCLA have created one of the first cellular-resolution molecular maps detailing how Down syndrome alters human ...

Scientists mapped human brain development in Down syndrome at a cellular level, discovering that stem cells "rush" to become ...

A new scientific statement highlights how mental health, sleep, and the gut microbiome shape brain health from childhood ...

A cellular-resolution map of prenatal brain development in Down syndrome reveals disrupted neuron production timing and altered cell types.

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai report that early-life exposure to common environmental metals may ...

Clinicians use electroencephalography (EEG) to assess brain activity in epilepsy and sleep pathologies, and this powerful tool has shown promise for other conditions.

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

“Do you know why you shouldn’t talk to strangers?” asks a police officer standing at the front of a classroom to a room full of students. Emily’s hand shoots up and the teacher encourages her to ...
