A team of researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Texas Children's Hospital and collaborating institutions reveal in the journal Nature a novel mechanism that ...

Researchers have built the first-ever molecular atlas of the human brain vasculature at single-cell resolution, spanning from early development to adulthood and through disease stages such as brain ...

Interactions between the nervous and vascular systems are fundamental for proper brain development and function 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. During brain development, neurons and vascular endothelial cells (ECs ...

Ribosomes are tiny molecular machines inside all living cells that build proteins, and ribosome biogenesis is the complex, multi-step process by which they are made. During brain development, neural ...

One of the challenges when studying brain development and disease is the limited access to live human brain tissue. Murine models have been extensively used to investigate brain development and ...

Infants born deaf or hard of hearing show adverse changes in how their brains organize and specialize, but exposure to sound and language may help them develop more normally, according to new research ...

At the recent annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience, which was held in San Diego from November 13-17, four poster presentations told of how, in animal studies, early exposure to psychiatric ...

Brain growth and maturation doesn't progress in a linear, stepwise fashion. Instead, it's a dynamic, choreographed sequence that shifts in response to genetics and external stimuli like sight and ...

A new study led by scientists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and INSERM identified genes essential for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, including a gene linked to a previously ...

The human brain undergoes significant development during the final prenatal months and through the first year of life. And while scientists have begun to map the developmental trajectories of this ...
