Examining brain plasticity and its implications for development, aging, and brain injury recovery.

Researchers identify that the brain's sensory checkpoint (TRN) undergoes a molecular "upgrade" in adulthood for high-resolution perception.

That viral claim that your frontal lobe “isn’t fully developed until 25” turns out to be more myth than milestone. Early ...

Challenging a long-standing assumption regarding the adult brain, recent research has demonstrated that individuals can continue to develop new brain cells into old age. Researchers at Sweden’s ...

Neuroscientists propose a new theory of brain development where cells organize based on lineage rather than long-range signals.

A study in the journal Science presents compelling new evidence that neurons in the brain's memory center, the hippocampus, continue to form well into late adulthood. The research from Karolinska ...

When a baby enters the world, their brain contains billions of neurons awaiting connection. The first 1,000 days of life, from conception to age two, represent a critical period where over 85% of ...

CAMBRIDGE, UK — The human brain doesn't simply grow and then decline. Instead, it moves through five distinct structural phases over a lifetime, separated by four major turning points at ages 9, 32, ...

A new study finds that brain changes are not a steady progression; instead, distinct neural rewiring occurs around ages 9, 32, 66, and 83. A new study of brain MRIs has pinpointed four major turning ...

A recipient of the Smith Medal in 2020, Jensen is also a leading expert in adolescent brain development—its unique strengths and vulnerabilities—and the implications for medical care, education, and ...
