Neuroscientists find that interpreting code activates a general-purpose brain network, but not language-processing centers. In some ways, learning to program a computer is similar to…
Neurons are like the electrical wiring of our brains, responsible for receiving information from the outside world and conveying this information to the rest of…
A deficiency in vitamin D on the mother’s side could explain why autism spectrum disorder is three times more common in boys, say Queensland Brain Institute…
Our brains respond to language expressing facts differently than they do to words conveying possibility, a team of neuroscientists has found. Its work offers new…
COVID-19 can lead to a broad range of neurologic complications including stroke, seizures, movement disorders, inflammatory diseases and more, even in moderate cases, according to…
Rett syndrome, a rare form of autism spectrum disorder, affects nearly every part of child’s life, including movement, speech and breathing. Most autism spectrum disorders…
Discovery could lead to better diagnostics, speed efforts to find treatment. A novel form of an Alzheimer’s protein found in the fluid that surrounds the…
Rapid mental rejuvenation in old mice suggests age-related losses may be broadly reversible. Just a few doses of an experimental drug can reverse age-related declines…
Norepinephrine release to cells is diminished, causing cascade of effects. In a new paper, researchers from The University of Texas Health Science Center at San…
Research shows cannabidiol safe for driving and THC effects fade in hours. A landmark study on how cannabis affects driving ability has shown that cannabidiol…
Taking turns in “conversation” with caregivers relates to synchronized activation in language areas. The type and quantity of an infant’s language exposure relates to their…
Using post-mortem tissue samples, a team of researchers from Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin have studied the mechanisms by which the novel coronavirus can reach the…
Airborne pollution implicated in amyloid plaques, UCSF-led study shows. A new study led by researchers at UC San Francisco has found that among older Americans…
Discovery of a distinct group of astrocytes in the spinal cord overturns thinking on role of descending neurons in pain transmission. Researchers in Japan have…
Do neural networks dream visual illusions? This is the question studied by researchers at the Department of Information and Communication Technologies, led by Marcelo Bertalmío…
Fewer headaches reported when school starts later, UCSF-led study shows. Research indicates that starting school later in the morning yields health and academic benefits for…
The brains of healthy adults recovered faster from a mild vascular challenge and performed better on complex tests if the participants consumed cocoa flavanols beforehand,…
A simple eye exam combined with powerful artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning technology could provide early detection of Parkinson’s disease, according to research being presented…
