The human brain undergoes significant development during the final prenatal months and through the first year of life. And while scientists have begun to map the developmental trajectories of this ...

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

A recent study published in the journal Scientific Reports observed that maternal heart rate variability (mHRV) at three months postpartum is associated with infant neurophysiology and maternal mental ...

Recent neuroscience research shows that our brain’s organization of the visual world occurs much earlier than previously ...

Newborn finger proportions may reflect early hormone exposure and could be linked to differences in early brain growth.

Infants exposed to gamma-aminobutyric acid-based anesthetics, such as sevoflurane or propofol, before 2 months of age showed faster development of visual brain responses by 2 to 5 months, according to ...

The research blends advanced brain imaging with artificial intelligence to shed light on how infants process the world around them. Together, these tools offer a clearer picture of what babies may be ...

Machine-learning algorithms can now estimate the "brain age" of infants with unprecedented precision by analyzing electrical brain signals recorded using electroencephalography (EEG). A team led by ...

Human newborns arrive remarkably underdeveloped. The reason lies in a deep evolutionary trade-off between big brains, bipedalism and the limits of motherhood.
