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

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

The next time you reach for a memory or make a quick choice, a storm of tiny signals races through your brain. Scientists can ...

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.

Scientists have made an enormous step toward understanding the human brain by building a neuron-by-neuron and synapse-by-synapse roadmap -- scientifically speaking, a 'connectome' -- through the brain ...

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

Scientists uncover new synapse hotspots in the teen brain, challenging the old theory of synaptic pruning and its link to schizophrenia.
