A new study sheds light on visual development and learning in children. Researchers found cortical recycling in the ventral temporal cortex reflects adjustments to changing visual demands throughout childhood.
A new study questions whether a child's brain thins as they get older. Researchers say the cortex does not thin during childhood, but instead becomes more myelinated.
Researchers discover those who were born blind use a brain map, similar to that in people with full vision, to distinguish between objects.
Two new studies overturn currently held theories, finding the brain continues to grow in regions that also show changes in function.
