A new Scientific Reports study links structural changes in the teenage brain to behavioral changes when it comes to understanding the intention of others. Read More
Researchers show the individual differences in how we process numbers have a structural basis in the brain. Read More
A new study reports gray matter deficits in the caudate nucleus could mean that adolescents with ADHD may not grow out of the disorder. Read More
A new study links the white matter integrity of the corpus callosum with a person's likelihood of experiencing auditory hallucinations and their musical aptitude. Read More
Researchers identified 48 common genetic variants that appear to play a role in the size of the brainstem and other subcortical structures. Forty of the variants were novel. The findings also revealed 199 genes related to the variants which regulate brain development and susceptibility to neurological disorders. Read More
According to researchers, our brains have different traits that affect both anatomical and cognitive factors. Read More
Telomere lengthening resulted in structural changes in the brain, including cortical thickening. By contrast, telomere shortening is associated with gray matter reduction, specifically in the precuneus. Read More
People with a life-long history of antisocial behavior had decreased mean surface area of the brain and lower mean cortical thickness than those with no history of antisocial behavior. Much of the cortical thinning was in areas associated with emotional regulation, motivation, and goal-directed behavior. Read More
Researchers have deciphered two axes along which the human brain is organized. The axes are mainly determined by genetic factors. Read More
A new computational model sheds light on how personal brain structure can influence our cognitive performance on language based tasks. Read More
A new study reveals an association between gut microbiota and brain regions responsible for processing sensory information in those with IBS. Read More
Those with body dysmorphic disorder and anorexia have abnormalities in activity and connectivity in visual and parietal brain networks. People with anorexia and body dysmorphia process images with high, low, or normal levels of detail. The abnormalities for low level of detail have the most direct relationship with disorder symptom severity and body perception. Read More
