A genome-wide CRISPR study maps 331 genes essential for early brain development, identifying PEDS1 as a new ...

The study used large-scale CRISPR gene-editing technology to systematically determine which genes are required as embryonic stem cells develop into brain cells.

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

A sweeping genetic screen reveals how the brain is built and exposes a hidden gene behind a newly discovered childhood brain ...

By editing thousands of genes in mouse stem cells, the scientists identified a list of over 300 that are crucial for neural differentiation.

Decades of research show that early psychosocial stress, including chronic exposure to adversity, can shape how a child's ...

The 25 number became popular off the back of brain imaging studies from the late 1990s and early 2000s. These studies often tracked changes through childhood and adolescence and showed that the brain ...

Computer programming powers modern society and enabled the artificial intelligence revolution, but little is known about how our brains learn this essential skill. To help answer that question, Johns ...

Babies in financially stressed households show slower brain development, highlighting the importance of income stability ...

Disrupting maternal gut-immune axis perturbed immune networks in developing mouse brains, revealing potential mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental disorders.

The discovery could pave the way for new treatments, improved risk prediction, and earlier intervention for brain metastases.

In a study led by researchers from Mass General Brigham, children with more adverse prenatal exposures (APEs) showed higher ...
