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

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

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

Clinicians use electroencephalography (EEG) to assess brain activity in epilepsy and sleep pathologies, and this powerful ...

Brain health isn't determined only by genetics or what happens later in life. A growing body of research shows that a range of factors-from mental health and sleep to environment, lifestyle and social ...

Houston Methodist neuroscientists have developed a first-of-its-kind method to rapidly produce synchronized, human brain wave-like activity in lab-grown neural networks that can communicate over long ...

“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 ...
