A single microscopic change in our DNA can permanently alter how the brain is built, locking in developmental problems that no amount of later effort can fully undo. Researchers are now tracing how ...

The most common type of brain tumor in children, pilocytic astrocytoma (PA), accounts for about 15% of all pediatric brain tumors. Although this type of tumor is usually not life-threatening, the ...

Gain hands-on experience studying how a single gene can affect brain development and contribute to disorders such as FOXG1 syndrome, autism spectrum disorders, and other neurodevelopmental disorders.

Infants born deaf or hard of hearing show adverse changes in how their brains organize and specialize, but exposure to sound and language may help them develop more normally, according to new research ...

Children who spent a lot of time on screens before the age of two showed changes in brain development that were later linked ...

New research reveals how constant headphone use prevents normal brain development in young people, leading to processing ...
