Discover how the brain’s structural networks evolve in five distinct phases across the human lifespan, from childhood to late ...

University of North Carolina-led researchers have used brain connectivity charts built from functional MRI data as a tool for tracking early childhood brain development. Charts mapped the maturation ...

A lot of brain development happens early in life, but researchers don't have a strong understanding of how a baby's brain ...

The findings revealed four critical topological turning points in brain development: around the ages of nine, 32, 66, and 83. Each of these ages marks the transition into distinct epochs of ...

Rather than thinking that adolescence ends at 18, groundbreaking brain research has shown that critical brain developmental ...

According to the researchers: Childhood brain topology reaches a turning point at age 9, transitioning to the adolescent phase. The adolescent phase lasts right up to age 32, on average. In the early ...

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, ...

The human brain undergoes significant development during the final prenatal months and through the first year of life. And while scientists have begun to map the developmental trajectories of this ...

A new study by researchers at Simon Fraser University is shedding light on how the brain's wiring in early childhood lays the foundation for attention skills—a key step toward characterizing healthy ...

Before age 5, a baby's brain grows rapidly, undergoing a uniquely important moment in development. Yet, many don't understand just how critical it is for setting a person's foundation for thriving.
