A new study at the UC Davis Center for Mind and Brain found that high activity in the amygdala when an adolescent looks at a face showing emotions predicts their social health two years later. The ...

Houston Methodist neuroscientists have developed a first-of-its-kind method to rapidly produce synchronized, human brain wave-like activity in lab-grown neural networks that can communicate over long ...

Studying the process of brain formation illuminates just how much of development is a series of tiny miracles. Only a few weeks after a human egg is fertilized, a sheet of cells called the neural ...

Dr. Colin King, who testified in the Crumbley trial, sits down with Charlie Langton to talk about what age a kid's brain in ...

One in three Americans is likely to be affected by a brain disorder in their lifetime. Many of these conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease or severe developmental disorders, have no reliable ...

Previous research has found that the human brain reaches maturity sometime in the 20s, but a new study suggests that it never stops developing. Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have ...

How does a single cell build a brain with billions of precisely organized neurons? Researchers suggest that brain cells use their lineage—their cellular family tree—as a kind of positional map. Cells ...

Since their beginnings, psychiatry, clinical psychology, and psychotherapy have all assumed that psychological and emotional distress has its origins inside isolated individuals: dysfunctional ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

A team of researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Texas Children's Hospital, and collaborating institutions reveals in the journal Nature a novel mechanism ...
