When a baby enters the world, their brain contains billions of neurons awaiting connection. The first 1,000 days of life, from conception to age two, represent a critical period where over 85% of ...

New research following children for more than a decade links high screen exposure before age two to accelerated brain maturation, slower decision-making, and increased anxiety by adolescence.

A long-term study shows how screen time in babies may alter brain development and increase vulnerability to anxiety years ...

When babies are born, their brains contain billions of neurons. But how those neurons interact — and what they can do as babies grow through childhood into adulthood — is largely shaped by their ...

A team of researchers from the University of Aberdeen has uncovered, for the first time, how genes linked to autism and intellectual disability may influence early brain development.

Within the first year of life, the brain triples in size, reaching 90% of its adult size by age six. In this week's Therapy Thursday, therapist Kaydee Norton with Sunbeam Family Services discusses the ...

Early brain development is a biological black box. While scientists have devised multiple ways to record electrical signals in adult brains, these techniques don’t work for embryos. A team at Harvard ...

In humans, the process of learning is driven by different groups of cells in the brain firing together. For instance, when the neurons associated with the process of recognizing a dog begin to fire in ...

Children exposed to high levels of screen time before age 2 showed changes in brain development that were linked to slower ...

A study has found that children exposed to excessive IT device usage time before the age of two show changes in brain development, such as slower decision-making speed and heightened anxiety during ...
