Melbourne researchers have uncovered a critical signaling pathway that controls the timing of brain development, shedding new light on how neurodevelopmental disorders may develop. The research, led ...

A human-specific gene influences brain immune cell development. These cells, called microglia, mature much slower than in ...

Tiny human brain organoids survived for years outside the body, continued to mature, and even skipped ahead through stages of ...

For children growing up with YouTube, TikTok and Instagram at their fingertips, the question for parents is no longer simply, ...

Scientists discovered that human microglia, immune cells that help shape developing brain circuits, can take four to eight years to mature instead of just weeks as they do in mice. The unusually slow ...

When researchers at Lund University investigated how UM171, a molecule used to make blood stem cells multiply, works, they ...

The teenage brain is still developing, with the emotional and reward systems becoming highly active before the areas ...

This intimate picture of how autism mutations work offers scientists new ideas for how to undo their effects. A drug might ...

Yale School of Medicine (YSM) has been awarded a grant of nearly $25 million by the Aligning Research to Impact Autism (ARIA) ...

In the complex circuitry of the brain, a fatty substance known as myelin plays a vital role in insulating neural wiring. It ...

Scientists have mapped a network of interacting proteins, to create a “blueprint” of some of the molecular changes that are associated with autism spectrum disorder.

The idea has also been linked to the popular concept of 'manifestation'. However, neuroplasticity does not mean that simply thinking about a desired outcome will make it happen. Rather, it refers to ...
