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 ...

That viral claim that your frontal lobe “isn’t fully developed until 25” turns out to be more myth than milestone. Early ...

Your brain does not develop in a smooth, straight line like climbing a ladder. Scientists have discovered four essential developmental milestones occurring at ages 9, 32, 66, and 83, creating five ...

On the computer screens, the mouse brain is shown from several angles. Then you click, and a small area of the brain is ...

Researchers have built the first-ever molecular atlas of the human brain vasculature at single-cell resolution, spanning from early development to adulthood and through disease stages such as brain ...

Imagine if keeping your brain in top shape was as routine as brushing your teeth in the morning or exercising before work. Brain health is more than simply the absence of disease; it is the state of ...

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, ...

For decades, my colleagues and I advanced the premise that early substance use—nicotine, alcohol, or cannabis (or other addicting drugs)—interferes with critical maturation stages, particularly ...

Male and female brains begin developing differently in the womb. Here's how genetics, hormones, and prenatal biology shape brain structure, behaviour, and mental health outcomes before birth.
