Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...

The connections a baby's brain forms during the first two years of life, coupled with a baby's genetic makeup, offer a window into their development. Cedars-Sinai pediatric neurologists, developmental ...

PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania, USA, 3 June 2025 – In a comprehensive Genomic Press research article, scientists have uncovered remarkable insights into how the earliest brain connections shape infant ...

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In a new study published today in Nature Neuroscience, researchers led by ...

Johns Hopkins University researchers have grown a novel whole-brain organoid, complete with neural tissues and rudimentary blood vessels—an advance that could usher in a new era of research into ...

These stem cells were then used to grow three-dimensional brain organoids that mimic early stages of human brain formation. After thirty days of development, the differences were striking. Organoids ...

To stay in balance, the brain depends on two types of neurons: Excitatory neurons (in white), which increase activity, and inhibitory neurons (in black), which damp down signals. Scientists have now ...

Before age 5, a baby's brain grows rapidly, undergoing a uniquely important moment in development. Yet, many don't understand just how critical it is for setting a person's foundation for thriving.
