The Huntington's disease (HD) mutation eventually causes a fatal brain disease in adulthood, but a new study finds that early in life, children with the HD mutation have bigger brains and higher IQ ...

The brain has five major structural phases during the human lifespan and doesn't reach adulthood until age 32, a new study suggests. Scientists determined that brain development is defined by four ...

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 ...
