Researchers have developed a new tool that can screen genes involved in human development at unprecedented scale and speed, using it in a proof-of-principle study to reveal new insights into human ...

Genes associated with male reproductive biology appear to be under relaxed selective constraint in a primate species with low sperm competition.

Analysis of data across many different studies shows that children's word recognition improves continuously from infancy through age 5 years, and shows strong coupling with early vocabulary.

A study suggests babies’ brains recognize music from as young as three months of age, while spontaneous movements to music emerge by their first birthday and their ability to match movements to it ...

Although auditory encoding of music is robust early in infancy, the transformation of this input into movement patterns develops substantially over the first postnatal year, without reaching full ...
