Discover how the brain’s structural networks evolve in five distinct phases across the human lifespan, from childhood to late ...

University of North Carolina-led researchers have used brain connectivity charts built from functional MRI data as a tool for tracking early childhood brain development. Charts mapped the maturation ...

Four major turning points around ages nine, 32, 66 and 83 create five broad eras of neural wiring over the average human lifespan.

The findings revealed four critical topological turning points in brain development: around the ages of nine, 32, 66, and 83. Each of these ages marks the transition into distinct epochs of ...

An international research team has provided an unprecedented look at how gene regulation evolves during human brain development, showing how the 3D structure of chromatin—DNA and proteins—plays a ...

In a new study, researchers discovered that the human brain has four pivotal periods when it goes through marked changes, sparking five "epochs" that last for years. The adolescent phase, for example, ...

A new study highlights five key eras of human brain development, and they don’t align with age quite as one might expect.

A cutting-edge laboratory technique that turns human stem cells into brain-like tissue now recapitulates human brain development more accurately than ever, according to a new study from Case Western ...

Researchers around the world are studying how the human brain achieves its extraordinary complexity. A team at the Central ...

Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new Yale-led study shows that, early in development, molecular “traffic cops” known ...
