The human brain undergoes significant development during the final prenatal months and through the first year of life. And while scientists have begun to map the developmental trajectories of this ...

The research blends advanced brain imaging with artificial intelligence to shed light on how infants process the world around them. Together, these tools offer a clearer picture of what babies may be ...

PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania, USA, 3 June 2025 – In a comprehensive Genomic Press research article, scientists have uncovered remarkable insights into how the earliest brain connections shape infant ...

Recent neuroscience research shows that our brain’s organization of the visual world occurs much earlier than previously ...

Scientists at Trinity College Dublin used brain imaging and AI to discover that two-month-old babies are showing cognitive abilities much earlier than expected ...

The brain has five major structural phases during the human lifespan and doesn't reach adulthood until age 32, a new study suggests. Scientists determined that brain development is defined by four ...

This could be pivotal to helping people of all ages.

Antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) are an established therapy for pregnant women at risk of preterm birth. Researchers have found that babies given ACS had notably smaller volumes of two key brain ...

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 ...

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 ...

Prenatal exposure to PM2.5 and black carbon is linked to lower infant cognitive scores. Eye-tracking shows poorer memory, with boys being more vulnerable.
