Brain development does not end at 25 but continues into the early 30s as neural networks become more efficient and ...

There’s this idea that something happens in the human brain when we turn 25. Suddenly, we can rent a car without fees. Make ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

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 ...

A study suggesting that the human brain enters a stable phase around age 32 has people in their 20s feeling validated. University of Cambridge neuroscientists released their research results on ...

By editing thousands of genes in mouse stem cells, the scientists identified a list of over 300 that are crucial for neural differentiation.

The human brain is often compared to a computer, but the latest wave of research shows it is closer to a self-building city, ...

In the brain, highly specific connections called synapses link nerve cells and transmit electrical signals in a targeted manner. Despite decades of research, how synapses form during brain development ...

Given the complexity of the process, it’s astonishing any human has ever mastered the ability to read. Although written language is ancient — we’ve been at it for roughly 5,000 years — it’s not an ...

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene ...
