A genome-wide CRISPR study maps 331 genes essential for early brain development, identifying PEDS1 as a new ...

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In ...

By editing thousands of genes in mouse stem cells, the scientists identified a list of over 300 that are crucial for neural differentiation.

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 ...

Brain development does not occur uniformly across the brain, but follows a newly identified developmental sequence, according to a new study. Brain regions that support cognitive, social, and ...

In 1979, Betty Edwards published the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, which remains the preeminent book on the subject of drawing for beginners. In the book, Edwards argues that there are ...

Decades of research show that early psychosocial stress, including chronic exposure to adversity, can shape how a child's brain develops, with effects that last well beyond childhood. But families ...
