A new study finds key differences in the development of the cortex between autistic boys and girls ages 2-13. The study found sex-specific changes in the thickness of the outer layer of the brain, ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

Malformations of cortical development are commonly associated with epilepsy and intellectual disabilities. Polymicrogyria is one of the most frequent cortical malformations but remains largely ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens. A new study by researchers in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory ...

Researchers around the world are studying how the human brain achieves its extraordinary complexity. A team at the Central Institute of Mental Health in Mannheim and the German Primate Center—Leibniz ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

May 7, 2008 (Washington, DC) — A large neuroimaging study found that in attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), brain development follows a normal trajectory, but maturation of the prefrontal ...

Facial emotion representations expand from sensory cortex to prefrontal regions across development, suggesting that the prefrontal cortex matures with development to enable a full understanding of ...
