Study reveals how dietary choline deficiency adversely affects the body and how it could be a missing piece of the puzzle when it comes to Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers identified a unique biomarker associated with only the chronic or acute stage of traumatic brain injury.
Researchers have designed a new method of converting non-neural cells into functioning neurons that are able to form synapses, dispense dopamine, and restore the function of neurons undermined by Parkinson's associated destruction of dopaminergic cells.
Study demonstrates the effects natural disasters may have on molecularly accelerated aging on the immune systems of monkeys.
Young children do not understand true or false belief, instead, they rely on perceptual access reasoning. The findings upend the longstanding belief that theory of mind is acquired by age four.
A new model of Alzheimer's progression highlights the link between glial cells, toxic protein buildup, and neurodegeneration.
Researchers comment on a new theory of human behavior in traditional societies and advocate for a new, fully integrated evolutionary theory of human behavior.
Jealousy can be a useful tool in maintaining friendships, a new study report. Feelings of jealousy were linked to the value of the friendship and motivated behaviors to retain the relationship.
A new genetic sequencing study reveals SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for coronavirus, originated from a single source in Wuhan, China. However, many of the localized cases in the US show Europe as the most likely source of infection. The study also identified a SARS-CoV-2 mutation that has never been seen before, where 81 of the letters have been permanently deleted from the genome. The mutation mirrors a large deletion that occurred during the 2003 SARS outbreak. During the mid-to-late phases of the 2003 SARS infection, the accumulated mutations attenuated the virus, leaving a weakened form of infection that resulted in less severe symptoms.
Using chemogenetic methods, researchers activated neurons in the anterior insular and increased prosocial behavior in rodent models of opioid addiction.
With so much of our lives shared online, researchers question what will happen to our social media information after we die.
Children as young as 18 months combine information from their own first-hand experiences and the experiences of others to decide whether to persist in trying to solve a problem.
