New research indicates that the structural organization of the human brain does not develop in a continuous, linear fashion ...

The stress and isolation of the pandemic appears to have caused adolescent brains to have accelerated maturation, with girls brains maturing faster than boys, according to new research. The pandemic ...

The human brain has four distinct turning points where its structure changes, according to a study published in the journal Nature Communications, demonstrating that brain development is not as linear ...

Until recently, the prevailing belief was that brain development ceased at around the time a child entered kindergarten (i.e., that the brain is 90-95% formed by age six). However, recent findings ...

This summer, many parents find themselves caught between excitement and anxiety as they help their college-bound children prepare for the next chapter in their lives. There’s the practical preparation ...
