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.

A team of researchers has created the first 'multiome' atlas of brain cell development in the human cerebral cortex across six broad developmental time points from fetal development into adulthood, ...

Newborns' brains may look relatively smaller than those of other primate babies, but it's not because they're "underdeveloped" by comparison. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

Human fingers and toes do not grow outward; instead, they form from within a larger foundational bud, as intervening cells recede to reveal the digits beneath. This is among many processes captured ...

Researchers utilize a large functional magnetic resonance imaging dataset to model developmental trajectories of brain functional networks spanning 25 to 55 weeks of post-conceptual gestational age.

Early childhood educators and their advocates often talk about the crucial development that happens after a baby is born through age 5. What is happening to a baby’s brain that makes these earliest ...
