UCLA researchers have discovered two powerful influences that help guide how the human brain forms before birth. Radial glia, ...

A $46 million grant from a new autism research initiative, Aligning Research to Impact Autism (ARIA), is turbocharging ...

Harvard neuroscientists have kept human brain organoids alive for over five years. These organoids matured and followed ...

Neuroscientists have kept human brain organoids alive for >5 years, enabling them to study neural development over extended ...

Past studies suggest that a mother-to-be's heightened immune responses during pregnancy are linked to a higher risk of ...

As the human brain takes shape before birth, a remarkable type of stem cell helps give it many of the features that make it ...

A human-specific gene influences brain immune cell development. These cells, called microglia, mature much slower than in ...

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 ...

Scientists discovered that human microglia, immune cells that help shape developing brain circuits, can take four to eight years to mature instead of just weeks as they do in mice. The unusually slow ...

An international research team has provided an unprecedented look at how gene regulation evolves during human brain development, showing how the 3D structure of chromatin—DNA and proteins—plays a ...
