Researchers now suggest that the human brain goes through five distinct phases of development over the course of a lifetime.

The brain has five major structural phases during the human lifespan and doesn't reach adulthood until age 32, a new study suggests. Scientists determined that brain development is defined by four ...

Cambridge researchers have revealed a detailed picture of how the human brain grows from mid-pregnancy through the first ...

Previous research has found that the human brain reaches maturity sometime in the 20s, but a new study suggests that it never stops developing. Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have ...

In a new study, researchers discovered that the human brain has four pivotal periods when it goes through marked changes, sparking five "epochs" that last for years. The adolescent phase, for example, ...

For some neuroscientists, the question of when the brain "stops" developing is headache-inducing. "It was kind of this unfathomable question," Duncan Astle, a researcher at the University of Cambridge ...

Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new Yale-led study shows that, early in development, molecular “traffic cops” known ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens. A new study by researchers in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory ...
