When a teenager does something alarming, the first question most parents ask is what is wrong with them. The neuroscience keeps pointing to a different question entirely. What would be wrong with a fifteen-year-old who felt no pull toward risk at all?

Reading 2,357 single neurons, a Nature study found widespread DNA damage in a quarter of fetal brain cells and a purge around birth that could matter for autism and epilepsy.

Most parents hear argument and think defiance. The research on adolescent brain development suggests they are hearing something else entirely: a teenager practising the cognitive skills that reasoning requires. This is what that actually looks like.

A Nature study found DNA abnormalities in many fetal neurons, with the share falling sharply around birth; researchers say this may reflect selective cell removal.

When a child’s epilepsy doesn’t respond to medication, doctors sometimes need to place tiny electrodes deep inside the brain to pinpoint exactly where seizures begin. It’s a routine part of preparing some children for surgery to cure their seizures. But according to a new paper led by David Bonda and colleagues at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, those same electrodes could be doing something else too: teaching us how the developing brain actually works.

Children will interrupt. Should they be assessed, judged, or graded on that? Join Cynthia and Alison to answer that question and learn about why they interrupt each other (and you).

Every parent has had the moment. The child who refuses, pushes back, says no to everything. It feels like defiance. It is not defiance. It is neuroscience, and it has a name.

Something Broke in 2012, Nobody Fixed It. Nobody handed their child a phone thinking it would change their brain.Nobody downloaded social media apps thinking it would make their teenager lonely.Nobody meant for any of this to happen.

Stanford Medicine researchers have shown the brain's front and back grow from entirely separate cell lineages — a two-origin split traced back 600 million years that may transform ALS and SMA research
