Early childhood is a period of rapid growth, learning, and brain development. During these formative years, children acquire ...

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 ...

A long-term study shows how screen time in babies may alter brain development and increase vulnerability to anxiety years ...

New research following children for more than a decade links high screen exposure before age two to accelerated brain maturation, slower decision-making, and increased anxiety by adolescence.

When babies are born, their brains contain billions of neurons. But how those neurons interact — and what they can do as babies grow through childhood into adulthood — is largely shaped by their ...

In humans, the process of learning is driven by different groups of cells in the brain firing together. For instance, when the neurons associated with the process of recognizing a dog begin to fire in ...

Early brain development is a biological black box. While scientists have devised multiple ways to record electrical signals in adult brains, these techniques don’t work for embryos. A team at Harvard ...

A team of researchers from the University of Aberdeen has uncovered, for the first time, how genes linked to autism and intellectual disability may influence early brain development.

Children exposed to excessive IT device usage before the age of two show changes in brain development, including slower decision-making and heightened anxiety during adolescence, according to a study.

LONDON, United Kingdom, October 22, 2024 (EZ Newswire) -- The First C.C.Tan Foundation - China Feihe Brain Development Science Global Summit was convened to focus on human brain development in early ...

A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence ...
