A prosthetic hand system has been created that allows the user's brain to pick up sensory information from the prosthetic hand. [Read More]
3q29 Deletion: Large Risk Genetic Marker For Schizophrenia
A large risk genetic marker of schizophrenia has been discovered by scientists. The researchers found that a specific deletion at 3q29, which contains two genes already known to be associated with intellectual disabilities , PAK2 and DLG1, increased the odds of [Read More]
Optimistic Brains vs Pessimistic Brains: Belief Affects Posterior Parietal Cortex Performance
Optimistic brains and pessimistic brains were compared in a brain-imaging study of the posterior parietal cortex, where it is believed sensory stimuli are transformed into movement plans. [Read More]
