Bioengineering scientists in the US have developed a soft, thin, and stretchable bioelectronic implant, which they integrated into a tadpole embryo’s nervous system to help them track neural activity ...

Early brain development is a biological black box. While scientists have devised multiple ways to record electrical signals in adult brains, these techniques don’t work for embryos. A team at Harvard ...

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

One hypothesis for how autism develops is excessive neuron production in the prenatal period, leading to a transient but significant increase in brain size in the first few years of life in about ...

Researchers have now discovered that HAR123, a regulatory gene sequence, is an important factor in human brain development. Even though humans are closely related to chimps, the slight differences in ...

Explore how stressors during pregnancy influence foetal brain development and the impact on future neurodevelopmental ...

The maternal microbiome and immune system have both independent and synergistic effects on fetal brain health—changes in the ...

The discovery of a gene essential to early embryonic development sheds light on the preliminary stages of human placenta formation. A team led by scientists from the University of California San Diego ...
