The genetic mutation that causes Huntington's disease (HD)—a devastating brain disease that disrupts mobility and diminishes cognitive ability—may also enhance early brain development and play a role ...

Brain growth and maturation doesn't progress in a linear, stepwise fashion. Instead, it's a dynamic, choreographed sequence that shifts in response to genetics and external stimuli like sight and ...
