Learn the new science of brain development and discover the importance of connections and learning for ongoing brain health.

The process of “epigenetic memory” in nerve cells plays a key role in learning ability, memory function, and healthy brain development. Prof. Tomohisa Toda at the Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und ...

A recent study in mice suggests that microglia, immune cells found in the brain, may play a role in early memory loss, or ...

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 ...

Recent studies integrating multi-omics data with cell atlases across development for brains of humans and model organisms are revealing conserved and divergent patterns of brain development at the ...

Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...

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, ...

A massive international brain study has revealed that memory decline with age isn’t driven by a single brain region or gene, but by widespread structural changes across the brain that build up over ...

A major study finds teens with abdominal obesity have enlarged brain areas linked to learning and emotion, raising concerns that excess weight and inequality may disrupt cognitive development and ...

Explore how learning through play strengthens brain connections, improves emotional stability, and supports natural thinking skills in young children. Understan ...

Boost cognitive performance by consuming Omega-3 fatty acids from Hilsa, Vitamin K found in leafy greens, and Choline-rich eggs. These essential nutrients improve memory, stabilize moods, and provide ...
