Researchers constructed a brain growth charts from 54,000+ diffusion MRI scans to map individual white matter health.

Humans owe our impressive intellect to our large brains, which are unusually sophisticated thanks to evolution. The first surge in our brain size occurred between 2 million and 800,000 years ago, when ...

The development and upkeep of the human brain are influenced by both genetic factors and environmental conditions, which may subsequently impact the risk of dementia later in life. Thus, a recent ...

Brain scientists have long debated when, and how strongly, sex starts to shape the human brain. A growing body of imaging work now points to a clear answer: measurable differences in brain size and ...

Researchers have identified thousands of genes linked to brain structure that shine a light on how our genetic makeup shapes the development of the brain, according to research published in Nature ...

Size matters. Thomas Huxley found that mammalian brains are broadly equivalent in structure and differ primarily in size. Even within our own species, there is some evidence that people with larger ...
