Scientific research suggests that neurological adulthood begins around age 32, a stage associated with greater brain maturity ...

Senescent "zombie" cells are essential architects required to build and maintain the brain's protective barriers.

Researchers have discovered that Smoothened, a receptor known for its role in embryonic brain development, also regulates learning and behavioral flexibility in adults. By fine-tuning the timing ...

Researchers have discovered a new way that brain plasticity is controlled in early life, offering insight into the ...

A study in the journal Science presents compelling new evidence that neurons in the brain’s memory centre, the hippocampus, continue to form well into late adulthood. The research from Karolinska ...

CAMBRIDGE, UK — The human brain doesn't simply grow and then decline. Instead, it moves through five distinct structural phases over a lifetime, separated by four major turning points at ages 9, 32, ...

Among the body's most crucial protective features are the brain barrier systems, including the blood-brain and blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barriers. These barriers are made of highly specialized ...

Recent advances in developmental theory and neurobiological research present an opportunity to design developmentally informed models for understanding and addressing challenges faced by individuals ...

As a society, we find ourselves at a crossroads between tradition and scientific understanding. While neuroscience has revealed that the human brain doesn't fully mature until approximately age 25, ...
