Rather than thinking that adolescence ends at 18, groundbreaking brain research has shown that critical brain developmental ...

For the first time, a team of researchers at the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National ...

An international research team involving the German Primate Center—Leibniz Institute for Primate Research (DPZ), Hannover ...

A new study proposes that autism arises when genetic vulnerability, an early environmental trigger, and prolonged activation of the cellular stress response align during critical developmental windows ...

These eras of brain architecture are marked by four major turning points, which occur around the ages of 9, 32, 66 and 83, ...

The human brain goes through five distinct stages of development during the average human lifetime, with measurable key turning points as we grow, mature, age and decline, new research suggests.

The human brain is not a hard-wired machine but a malleable organ that is regularly re-shaping itself. Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge in the UK and the University of Pittsburgh in the ...

The scientists said understanding the brain's structural journey "will help us identify when and how its wiring is vulnerable to disruption" in future. The human brain goes through five major stages ...

A new study has found that adolescence can continue until the age of 32, as humans hit four major “turning points” in brain development at the ages of about nine, 32, 66 and 83. Published on Tuesday ...

Researchers have uncovered five key “epochs” in human brain development, offering one of the clearest pictures yet of how our neural wiring changes from birth to old age. The research by the ...

A new study has mapped out five phases of brain development that play out over the course of our lives—and four ages seen as pivotal turning points in that process, reports the BBC. The ages are 9, 32 ...

As we age, the human brain rewires itself. The process happens in distinct phases, or “epochs,” according to new research, as the structure of our neural networks changes and our brains reconfigure ...
