Scientists at UCLA have created one of the first cellular-resolution molecular maps detailing how Down syndrome alters human ...

A cellular-resolution map of prenatal brain development in Down syndrome reveals disrupted neuron production timing and altered cell types.

The human brain's advanced cognitive capabilities are often attributed to our recently evolved neocortex. Comparison of human and rodent brains shows that the human cortex is thicker, contains more ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...

UCLA researchers created a single-cell map of the developing human neocortex in Down syndrome during a critical window of ...

The image shows how different elements of the genome are used during the birth of neurons in the mouse (left), monkey (center) and human (right) brain. Each tiny dot is a single cell in the developing ...

"Neurogenesis in the neocortex of adult primates," Science, 286:548-52, Oct. 15, 1999). At last month's American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Washington, D.C., Yale University ...

Scientists have identified previously unknown neural modules in the brain that control movement and adapt during skill learning. Their findings challenge long-held ideas about how the brain organizes ...
