Scientists have uncovered evidence supporting a mechanism in which transposable elements (TEs), once considered ...

A new study reveals how transposable elements (TEs) expanded gene regulation during brain evolution, shaping modern neural ...

A new study led by scientists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and INSERM identified genes essential for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, including a gene linked to a previously ...

An important DNA modification is methylation, or the addition of a methyl group to the 5th carbon of cytosine. This forms 5-methylcytosine (5mC), typically associated with repression of gene ...

That viral claim that your frontal lobe “isn’t fully developed until 25” turns out to be more myth than milestone. Early brain scans showed that gray matter changes dramatically through the teen years ...

Neurodevelopment involves the brain's formation of systems responsible for learning, memory, social skills, and overall function. Critical neurodevelopmental processes such as neurogenesis, synaptic ...

A new study in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience finds that adolescents with higher intelligence scores show faster brain ...
