The human brain is known to contain a wide range of cell types, which have different roles and functions. The processes via which cells in the brain, particularly its outermost layer (i.e., the ...

Exposure to high temperatures during pregnancy and early infancy is associated with slower growth of the thalamus later in ...

A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs known as assembloids, which are derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) ...

One of the defining features of humans is our brain's remarkable capacity for language, planning, memory, creativity, and more. These abilities stem not just from our large brain size, but also from ...

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost layer of the brain—and examined how neurons, or nerve cells, refine their ...

SEATTLE, WASH. — November 5, 2025 — A global consortium of scientists has created the first and most detailed “developmental maps” of the mammalian brain (from mouse to human) to date, taking the ...

Researchers analyzed 3,251 children’s temperature exposure and MRI data. Early heat exposure was linked to slower thalamic ...

Researchers have developed a new approach for describing the shape of the cerebral cortex, and provide evidence that cortices across mammalian species resemble a universal, fractal pattern. With ...

A study reveals that exposure to high temperatures during pregnancy and early infancy is linked to slower growth of the brain ...
