Brain development does not end at 25 but continues into the early 30s as neural networks become more efficient and ...

The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind ...

There’s this idea that something happens in the human brain when we turn 25. Suddenly, we can rent a car without fees. Make ...

Adolescents have long engaged in high-risk behaviors and poor decisions. Now we know that it's got a lot to do with what's ...

Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively ...

New research following children for more than a decade links high screen exposure before age two to accelerated brain maturation, slower decision-making, and increased anxiety by adolescence.

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

For decades, my colleagues and I advanced the premise that early substance use—nicotine, alcohol, or cannabis (or other addicting drugs)—interferes with critical maturation stages, particularly ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are observed in no other animal species. For centuries, scientists have been trying ...
