One hypothesis for how autism develops is excessive neuron production in the prenatal period, leading to a transient but significant increase in brain size in the first few years of life in about ...
A signaling pathway best known for shaping the brain before birth also helps govern how adults learn, adapt, and persist in ...
During brain development, neurons can regulate their movement until they reach their final destination thanks to a "molecular ...
A receptor long known for guiding brain development before birth also shapes how adults learn, determining how strongly the ...
The embryonic receptor "Smoothened" regulates dopamine and acetylcholine timing to control learning and habit formation in ...
The role of Fibroblast Growth Factor 8 (FGF8) in embryonic development and organ formation is gaining increased recognition as scientists uncover its wide-ranging influence. FGF8, a powerful signaling ...

The maternal microbiome and immune system have both independent and synergistic effects on fetal brain health - changes in the mother’s immune system have been linked to an increased risk of ...
Postdoctoral researcher Kamal Shokeen at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine studies how a key protein guides retinal ...
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 ...
