Yale School of Medicine (YSM) scientists have discovered a molecular difference in the brains of autistic people compared to their neurotypical counterparts. Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition ...

Experts say the more we challenge our brains as we age, the more resilient it becomes—and “learning a new instrument is a full-brain workout.” After the age of 40, the average brain decreases 5 ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

With aging comes change; wrinkles, gray hair, and height differences are all a part of the mix. But it’s not just the cosmetic transformations that people fear. According to a study from the Global ...

A new study by researchers at Rutgers University showed that the brain’s wiring and timing together help explain why some people switch between mental tasks more efficiently, and why we all have ...

Learn how neurobiology could explain why some people are better at accepting and adapting to change. Every January, millions of people resolve to multitask better, focus longer, or finally break old ...

For years I avoided bar soaps because I only associated them with my skin feeling tight and dry, something I wanted to avoid at any cost. Instead, I relied on liquid body washes or shower oils. While ...

Our brain and metabolism are tightly interlinked physiologically, say scientists in Singapore who are studying the links between them — an emerging field known as neurometabolism. They are studying a ...
