New research from Yale University reveals that the laminin alpha 5 molecule is crucial to the maturing of the adolescent brain. For a decade, the…
A new genome-wide association study (GWAS) by Yale and University of Pennsylvania researchers found that a gene variant involved in brain development is strongly associated…
According to MIT neuroscientists, the existence of “silent engrams” suggests that existing models of memory formation should be revised. Learning and memory are generally thought…
New research shows that tiny mammals reduce the size of their organs in the winter and can even decrease and rebuild bones. During winter, the…
MIT researchers have developed a synthetic gene circuit that triggers the body’s immune system to attack cancers when it detects signs of the disease. The…
Scientists have now observed a remarkable mechanism by which polymer materials are formed. Under the influence of shear forces, nanoparticles from the secretion of velvet…
Figuring out how to pedal a bike and memorizing the rules of chess require two different types of learning, and now for the first time,…
