A cellular-resolution map of prenatal brain development in Down syndrome reveals disrupted neuron production timing and altered cell types.

UCLA researchers created a single-cell map of the developing human neocortex in Down syndrome during a critical window of ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...

Scientists mapped human brain development in Down syndrome at a cellular level, discovering that stem cells "rush" to become ...

The leading theories of consciousness suggest that the outer layer of the human brain, called the cortex (in blue in figure 1), is fundamental to consciousness. This is mostly composed of the ...

The image shows how different elements of the genome are used during the birth of neurons in the mouse (left), monkey (center) and human (right) brain. Each tiny dot is a single cell in the developing ...

New research suggests that consciousness originates in the subcortex, and is polished by the cortex and cerebellum.

Scientists at UCLA have created one of the first cellular-resolution molecular maps detailing how Down syndrome alters human ...
