A lot of brain development happens early in life, but researchers don't have a strong understanding of how a baby's brain develops while they're awake.

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 ...

Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

A new study maps how prenatal stress alters immune signalling in the developing brain at a level of detail not seen before ...
