Researchers found three master genes that alter brain development in Down syndrome, offering new clues about learning and memory differences.

A genetic analysis of the nuclei also showed that superager neural cells have increased gene activity linked to stronger synaptic connections, greater plasticity, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor ...

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is often talked about as if it were a single condition. But anyone who works ...

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...

A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be game-changing for treating diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia.

In other words, get ready to grab your binoculars, says a group of brain researchers in Canada.

A research team led by scientists at Queen Mary University of London and University College London (UCL) has found new clues about how the brains of people with Down syndrome develop differently from ...

Previous research has found that the human brain reaches maturity sometime in the 20s, but a new study suggests that it never stops developing. Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have ...

New research suggests that super-agers generate twice as many neurons as typical older adults. But you don't have to be a ...

In a new study, researchers discovered that the human brain has four pivotal periods when it goes through marked changes, sparking five "epochs" that last for years. The adolescent phase, for example, ...
