Development is commonly viewed as a discrete period, beginning with birth and terminating in middle adulthood. Given what is now known about the plasticity of the brain, it is unclear whether development can be so readily compartmentalized. The complexity of neural connections changes throughout the...

Takeaway With the challenges of raising an adolescent, parenting can be difficult for many. You may decide to seek out the guidance of a trained therapist for further resources and support as you learn more about your child's mental, physical, and emotional development. ...
Until recently, it was thought that human brain development was all over by early childhood but research in the last decade has shown that the adolescent brain is still changing into early adulthood. This programme delves inside the teenage brain, he...
the youngest mice, neuronal activity did not trigger an increase in blood flow, as occurs in the adult mouse brain. But as the animals matured, and their neural networks became more established, the brain's blood-flow response gradually got stronger over time until the animal reached adulthood...
of its development duringearly life,specific regions of the braincontinue to generate new neurons throughout adulthood, although at a muchlower rate. Whether this process of neurogenesis actually happens in adults and what function it serves in the brain isstill a subject of debateamong scientists....
Compare and contrast the development of the vertebral column before birth to adulthood. Explain the process of evolution. Explain the mechanism of complete androgen insensitivity syndrome. Be specific in explaining mechanisms and hormonal signals for gonadal and external genitalia development. During human...
is largely derived from observational neuroimaging studies that harness non-experimental variations in human sex steroid signaling as a function of: (i) inter-individual variation in circulating sex steroids during development, reflecting variation between individuals in the same developmental period and ...
Brain development during childhood and adolescence differs between boys and girls. Structural changes continue during adulthood and old age, particularly in terms of brain volume reductions that accelerate beyond age 35 years. We investigated whether brain structural change in mid-life differs between men...
The size of the BSTc was not influenced by sex hormones in adulthood and was independent of sexual orientation. Our study is the first to show a female brain structure in genetically male transsexuals and supports the hypothesis that gender identity develops as a result of an interaction between...
