A new 'brain on a chip' study reveals the physical and biological mechanisms behind how the brain develops its folds. Read More
Eye tracking and EEG may help to assess vocabulary knowledge in those on the autism spectrum. Read More
When mental and physical tasks are put in direct competition, cognition tends to win out. Researchers suggest more energy is directed to the brain than the body, supporting the 'selfish brain' theory of evolution. Read More
Genetically preventing apoptosis during brain growth allows 'zombie' cells to develop into functioning neurons. Read More
Transposable elements team up with evolutionary recent neurons to influence differentiation and physiological function of neurons in brain development. Read More
3D images show how a baby's brain and skull change shape during labor and delivery. Read More
A new 3D imaging method allows researchers to measure brain growth and folding patterns in a baby's brain during the third trimester of pregnancy. Read More
Adults who played Pokemon video games as children had preferential activation in the visual system for Pokemon character, researchers report. The finding shed light on the development of the visual system and categorization in the brain. Read More
Activity in the frontoparietal network during memory tasks reflected the individual working memory capabilities of children, with an activity pattern unique to working memory. Read More
Researchers present a new theory which explains how critical periods are triggered during neurodevelopment. Read More
Researchers believe findings may shed light on how the vertebrate brain may have evolved. Read More
Findings shed light on the effect of marijuana on the developing brain and provide a target for cannabis use disorder. Read More
