The neonatal period, which is defined as the first 28 days after birth, is known to be a crucial stage in the development of the human brain. During this stage, the brain is known to grow ...

The perinatal period, encompassing both prenatal and early postnatal stages, is a highly dynamic and foundational phase of brain development. Despite its significance, limited work has tracked brain ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...

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 ability to spatially map multiple layers of omics information across developmental timepoints enables exploration of the mechanisms driving brain development 1, differentiation, arealization and ...

HERSHEY, Pa. — Brain growth and maturation doesn’t progress in a linear, step-wise fashion. Instead, it’s a dynamic, choreographed sequence that shifts in response to genetics and external stimuli ...

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...

The cytoskeleton gives cells their shape and helps them move. Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and Ludwig Maximilian ...

We have many models of human development, from personality and psychosocial ones to those based on neuroscientific and developmental research. Freud (1937), envisioning a scientific model for ...
