The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...

The neonatal period, which is defined as the first 28 days after birth, is known to be a crucial stage in the development of the human brain. During this stage, the brain is known to grow ...

Your brain is more superficial than we thought. Scientists from the University of Monash in Melbourne, Australia, have found that the shape of your brain could strongly influence how you think, feel ...

Researchers have identified thousands of genes linked to brain structure that shine a light on how our genetic makeup shapes the development of the brain, according to research published in Nature ...

For over a century, researchers have thought that the patterns of brain activity that define our experiences, hopes and dreams are determined by how different brain regions communicate with each other ...

Scientists have determined that how the brain shape changes with age could indicate early signs of dementia. Experts are finding that the best way to understand how the brain ages is not by examining ...

The way the brain’s shape changes as it ages could help to paint the picture of its overall health and offer early warning signs for dementia—years before typical symptoms emerge. Brain scan analysis ...

A single mathematical model can explain the pattern of folds seen on the brains of a range of primates, from bush babies to macaques to humans. Bruno Mota at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro ...

Though much about the brain remains a mystery, scientists have long surmised that our thoughts, feelings and behavior are the result of billions of interconnected neurons that transmit signals to each ...

Now, a study led by from researchers at Monash University's Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health has examined more than 10,000 different maps of human brain activity and found that the overall ...
