Study Reveals How The Brain Evolves Through Five Distinct Stages
The lead researcher added that the study is the first to identify major phases of how brain wiring changes across a human's lifespan.

Scientists Find Human Brain Develops In Five Key Stages From Birth To Old Age
The researchers stated that these stages reflect patterns of brain change.

Age At Autism Diagnosis Could Indicate Tendency For Mental Health Disorders, Says Study
Researcher have identified distinct patterns in the genes and development of those diagnosed in early childhood and those diagnosed later, typically from late childhood onwards.

Research Shows Twin Births Were Common in Ancient Primate Evolution
Research suggests that ancient primates, including early humans, typically gave birth to twins, a common trait in their evolutionary history. Over time, singletons became more prevalent due to the survival advantages of larger, more developed offspring. This shift is linked to the evolution of primates' larger brains and bodies, requiring more ener...

Mice VR Headsets Revolutionise Brain Activity Studies and Behavioural Research
Mice are now being equipped with specially designed virtual reality headsets, allowing researchers to study brain activity in immersive environments. Developed using affordable components, the "MouseGoggles" enable scientists to observe the mice's neural responses as they interact with virtual environments. The study opens new doors for understandi...

IIT Madras Captures Images Of Fetal Brain, World's Most Detailed Yet
In a breakthrough in understanding and studying the development of human brain, IIT Madras has released the most detailed, three-dimensional high-resolution images of the foetal brain.

New Child Fossil Teeth Reveal Why Humans Developed an Unusually Long Childhood
Research on fossil teeth from a 1.77-million-year-old early Homo specimen challenges the "big brain, long childhood" hypothesis. The study suggests that the extended childhood seen in humans may have evolved as a result of cultural transmission, not just brain growth. By analysing dental growth patterns, scientists show that Homo’s development wa...

Harvard and Google Created the Most Detailed Map of Brain Using AI
In a landmark achievement, Harvard University and Google have developed the most detailed brain map ever created. This innovative project focused on a cubic millimeter of human cerebral cortex, a sample taken during an epilepsy surgery in 2014. Over a decade, biologists and machine-learning experts meticulously mapped approximately 57,000 cells and...

Neuralink Implants the First Brain Chip in a Human; Elon Musk Says ‘Patient Recovering Well’
Elon Musk’s Neuralink has implanted a brain chip in a human for the first time. The co-founder revealed the development via a post on X (formerly known as Twitter) and added that the patient was recovering well. Musk also revealed that the first brain chip was named Telepathy and it will enable users to control a computer or a smartphone with jus...

Neuralink Said to Approach US Neurosurgery Centre as Potential Human Clinical Trials Partner
Neuralink, Elon Musk's brain implant company, is said to have approached one of the biggest US neurosurgery centres ahead of the company's plans to launch a human clinical trial for its devices that have been in development since 2016. The firm is working to address concerns expressed by the US Food and Drug Administration after it rejected an appl...

Neuralink Expected to Begin Human Clinical Trials in Six Months, Elon Musk Says
Neuralink is expected to begin human trials in six months, Elon Musk said on Wednesday. The brain chip interface is running behind schedule, and is said to have repeatedly missed internal deadlines to gain US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval to start human trials. Over a year ago, Neuralink demonstrated its technology on a monkey with a ...

Synchron Switch Now Lets You Control Your iPhone or iPad Using Brain: All Details
Brain chip implant developer Synchron has created a device called 'Synchron Switch' that allows patients to control an iPhone or iPad using their brain. Synchron’s technology could lead to major advances and would change the day-to-day lives of people with severe disabilities.

Synthetic Mouse Embryo With Developed Brain Grown Using Stem Cells
Scientists have developed synthetic mouse embryos from stem cells. The model embryos feature beating hearts and even foundations for the brain and other organs of a mouse's body. The achievement is likely to help researchers unravel why some embryos successfully develop into a foetus while others fail to do so.
-
Cerebral Cortex of Developing Human Brain Mapped Using High-Quality MRI Scan Data
Scientists have successfully mapped the surface of the cerebral cortex of the young human brain in impressively high resolution. The mapping, done using high-quality magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data, showed development in the key regions of the brain from two months before an individual's birth to two months after it.
