The cause for aging’s telltale slowing in memory and cognition remains unclear, and the molecular drivers are even more unknown. Now, a study in mice suggests that the most pronounced changes that ...

How does gene expression in the brain change with age? The answer remains murky, because the field has lacked a systematic, brain-wide survey of alterations across the lifespan. Researchers led by ...

Alzheimer’s disease (Alzheimer’s) is conceptualized as a progressive consequence of two hallmark pathological changes in gray matter, in particular, extracellular amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary ...

Newborn brain scans reveal how autism-related genetic variants influence early neural wiring, offering fresh insights into the origins of neurodevelopmental differences. Research: Autism common ...

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 ...
