In about one out of every 1,000 pregnancies, the neural tube, a key nervous system structure, fails to close properly.

When babies are born, their brains contain billions of neurons. But how those neurons interact — and what they can do as ...

Scientists have made a major advance in developmental neuroscience, creating the very first detailed atlas of how the vascular network of a mouse's brain grows after birth. Their study is published in ...

The next surprise was that human organoids just kept growing. Mouse organoids were done with making neurons within nine days.

How does the neural tube close? A new study uses physics-based modeling to reveal the actin "purse-string" mechanism and cellular coordination that prevents spina bifida.

Researchers from the Paris Brain Institute and Sainte-Justine University Hospital in Montreal have, for the first time, ...

“Do you know why you shouldn’t talk to strangers?” asks a police officer standing at the front of a classroom to a room full of students. Emily’s hand shoots up and the teacher encourages her to ...

The connections a baby's brain forms during the first two years of life, coupled with a baby's genetic makeup, offer a window into their development. Cedars-Sinai pediatric neurologists, developmental ...

Researchers at the University of Exeter have created a detailed temporal map of chemical changes to DNA through development and aging of the human brain, offering new insights into how conditions such ...

Neuroscience reveals the brain is shaped through relationships—not in isolation—challenging individualistic psychiatry and ...
