Scientists have discovered why common marmosets have unusually small, smooth brains despite starting development much like ...

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have built a cross-species atlas of gene regulatory networks governing ...

The human brain continues to develop for two decades. To study this prolonged process, researchers have traditionally relied on donated human brain tissue and animal models, both of which have ...

Common marmosets have nearly smooth brains, unlike most primates, and a team at the German Primate Center in Göttingen now ...

A UCLA-led study has created a map of DNA modification in two regions of the brain critical to learning, memory and emotional regulation. The map offers a benchmark for ensuring stem cell-based models ...

The neonatal period, which is defined as the first 28 days after birth, is known to be a crucial stage in the development of the human brain. During this stage, the brain is known to grow ...

Neuroscientists have made a major advance in modeling the human brain in mice, offering a new way to study conditions like ...

Analysis of nearly 30,000 brain scans yields detailed timeline of how the brain matures — and hints at the consequences of disrupting it.
