In a sweeping new map of the adult Drosophila melanogaster brain, researchers at the University of Oxford found that mature neurons still carry a molecular record of where they came from and when they ...

"Super-agers" seem to produce more new nerve cells in a brain region important for memory than other people their age ...

Researchers from the University of Oxford have created the first high-resolution molecular atlas of the adult Drosophila ...

A study in the journal Science presents compelling new evidence that neurons in the brain’s memory centre, the hippocampus, continue to form well into late adulthood. The research from Karolinska ...

Examining brain plasticity and its implications for development, aging, and brain injury recovery.

When a baby enters the world, their brain contains billions of neurons awaiting connection. The first 1,000 days of life, from conception to age two, represent a critical period where over 85% of ...

Dr. Frances Jensen ’78, acclaimed author of The Teenage Brain, will speak at a colloquium on Thursday, March 12 at 5 p.m. in ...

Exposure to a diet heavy in fats and sugars during early development primes the brain to overreact to unhealthy foods in adulthood. This combination leads to high levels of inflammation and reduced ...

A new study finds that brain changes are not a steady progression; instead, distinct neural rewiring occurs around ages 9, 32, 66, and 83. A new study of brain MRIs has pinpointed four major turning ...
