In early childhood, growth charts are used to monitor the height, weight and head circumference, serving as a screening tool to identify physical development. During this window of time, between early ...

An international team of researchers has created a series of brain charts spanning our entire lifespan – from a 15 week old fetus to 100 year old adult – that show how our brains expand rapidly in ...

The cerebral cortex is your brain’s outermost layer. It has a wrinkled appearance due to the grooves and folds that increase its surface area. Here, we look at the anatomy of the cerebral cortex and ...

Researchers from Radboudumc have developed a set of growth charts for the brain. These ‘brain charts’ provide reference models for brain development and ageing across the entire human lifespan, based ...

IF A DOCTOR wants to know how well a child is growing, she can turn to clinically validated charts that lay out precisely how that child compares to the norm for their age and sex. Not only can the ...

A new study reveals that a connection between the body and mind is built into the structure of the brain. The study shows that parts of the brain area that controls movement are plugged into networks ...

Your brainstem is the central apparatus of your entire nervous system. One portion of your brainstem is called the pons. The pons links your brain to your spinal cord. Your pons handles all of your ...

Scientists have determined that how the brain shape changes with age could indicate early signs of dementia. Experts are finding that the best way to understand how the brain ages is not by examining ...

This work was supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health (R01-MH114877; R01-AG063775) and a gift from an individual philanthropist, all to Robert M. G. Reinhart, Ph.D., Associate ...

Researchers have developed a set of growth charts for the brain. These 'brain charts' provide reference models for brain development and ageing across the entire human lifespan, based on a very large ...
