Scientists mapped human brain development in Down syndrome at a cellular level, discovering that stem cells "rush" to become ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...

Scientists at UCLA have created one of the first cellular-resolution molecular maps detailing how Down syndrome alters human ...

Both models feature animals genetically predisposed to absence seizures that consistently and reliably develop absence epilepsy across their lifespan. In both models, the researchers focused their ...

A cellular-resolution map of prenatal brain development in Down syndrome reveals disrupted neuron production timing and altered cell types.

A receptor long known for guiding brain development before birth also shapes how adults learn, determining how strongly the ...

SEATTLE, WASH. — DECEMBER 23, 2025 — Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their outgoing signals). These whisper-quiet ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai report that early-life exposure to common environmental metals may ...

Teaching toddlers adaptive skills like social interaction and self-care can protect their brains from the effects of prenatal stress.

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 ...

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 ...
