A sweeping genetic screen reveals how the brain is built and exposes a hidden gene behind a newly discovered childhood brain ...

The brain goes through five distinct stages between birth and death, a new study shows. Scientists identified the average ages—9, 32, 66 and 83—when the pattern of connections inside our brains shift.

Brain-imaging data collected from fetuses and infants has revealed a rapid surge in functional connectivity between brain regions on a global scale at birth, possibly reflecting neural processes that ...

Researchers utilize a large functional magnetic resonance imaging dataset to model developmental trajectories of brain functional networks spanning 25 to 55 weeks of post-conceptual gestational age.

Physical gel models and numerical simulations have been created to study ferret brain gyrification and cortical malformations, while comparisons with human phenotypes aim to link genetics and brain ...

The morphogenesis of brain folding patterns across species is studied by physical gel models, simulations, and a quantitative morphometric analysis.

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 ...
