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

The evidence and concept of adult neurogenesis have been documented in the scientific literature since the 1960s, with research conducted by Altman (1962) and Altman and Das (1965). These studies have ...

The brain's ability to adapt and form new neural connections allows it to recover from injury and maintain cognitive function into old age. Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to adapt and ...

Researchers have identified specific coupled patterns of brain activity and gene expression that help explain impulsive ...

Synaptic pruning is a crucial neurodevelopmental process through which the brain refines its neural circuitry by systematically eliminating excess or weak synaptic connections. During early childhood ...

A single missing molecule in the brain is emerging as a powerful new clue to why learning and memory are altered in Down ...

The first few years of a child's life are at a stage of great brain plasticity and neurodevelopment, and form the foundation for their future cognitive, social, and emotional skills. This period, ...

In a new study, researchers identified a molecule produced by a particular type of brain cell that reversed the cognitive decline seen in both healthy aging and dementia. It provides a deeper ...

Regular physical activity is important for maintaining a healthy brain as we age. But experts say one particular form of exercise—resistance training—is crucial for brain health, with research showing ...
