The human brain is a marvel, with intricate pathways connecting its various regions — a superhighway of learning. These neural pathways are the foundation of our thoughts, actions and responses to the ...

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 ...

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...

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 ...

When most of us picture the brain, we imagine billions of nerve cells flashing with electrical activity, carrying thoughts, memories and commands from one region to another. Those cells, called ...

* Teens treated with doxycycline had 30-35% lower odds of developing schizophrenia later. * The antibiotic may protect the brain by reducing inflammation and abnormal neural pruning. // * Researchers ...
