Antioxidant shows promise as treatment for certain features of autism, Stanford study finds A specific antioxidant supplement may be an...
Newborn mice use mom's unique odor, not a pheromone, to begin breastfeeding.
UCLA researchers have for the first time measured the activity of a brain region known to be involved in learning, memory and Alzheimer's disease during sleep. They discovered that the entorhinal cortex behaves as if it's remembering something, even under anesthesia, a finding that counters conventional theories about memory consolidation during sleep.
Research shows that exercise-loving mice have larger midbrains.
Studying the functions of the grooming behavior, researchers discover grooming helps insects maintain acute olfactory senses, as well as removing both environmental pollutants and chemicals produced by the insects themselves.
In a new study, a small, two-wheeled robot was driven by a male silkmoth to track down the sex pheromone usually given off by a female mate.
Using fMRI for before-and-after analysis, a team of researchers discovered positive changes in brain activity in children with autism who received a particular type of behavioral therapy.
When manipulated in two lines of transgenic mice, neuroligin 1, a gene linked to ASD, produced mature adults with irreversible defects which affected either learning or social interaction. The findings could have implications for potential gene therapies for autism.
Children with irregular bedtimes are more likely to have behavioral difficulties, a new study finds.
Researchers conduct a large scale genetic analysis of the cerebral neocortex at different stages during development, from neonatal to adulthood.
Researchers discover a link between sleep loss in young fruit flies and mating behavior later in life.
