Facial emotion representations expand from sensory cortex to prefrontal regions across development, suggesting that the prefrontal cortex matures with development to enable a full understanding of ...

Adolescent dogs aren’t just 'difficult,' their brains are under construction. In this video, Christopher Pachel, DVM, DACVB, CABC, explains the neuroscience behind the teenage phase.

A new neuroimaging study suggests that adolescents with borderline personality disorder exhibit distinct patterns of brain ...

Researchers from Kyushu University discovered a previously unrecognized synaptic "hotspot" that forms during adolescence, challenging the long-held view that adolescent brain development was dominated ...

Children and adolescents affected by juvenile fibromyalgia show greater sensitivity to non-painful sensory stimuli, such as ...

This image shows densely accumulated dendritic spines. Researchers from Kyushu University discovered a previously unrecognized synaptic “hotspot” that forms during adolescence, challenging the ...

Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively builds dense new clusters of synapses in specific parts of neurons. These ...

Researchers found that teens who had dogs were more sociable than those who didn't, and said it could be due to sharing ...

Have you ever wondered why we set age limits for obtaining a driving licence, consuming alcohol, or even getting married? The answer lies not in arbitrary tradition but in science — more specifically, ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens. A new study by researchers in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory ...
