Researchers report a genetic mutation that causes structural abnormalities in the adolescent brain may predict an increased risk of schizophrenia later in life. Read More
Gray matter volume in the dosolateral and ventromedial prefrontal cortex predicts whether you will choose a health food option or not, researchers report. 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
A new study reveals exposure to dim light might impact memory and learning. Researchers report rodents exposed to dim lighting lost 30 percent of hippocampal capacity and performed poorly on spatial tasks they had previously experienced. 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 specific genes are linked to differences in brain structure in children with ASD. 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
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
Aerosolized coronavirus microdroplets remain in the air and pose a risk of exposure beyond the recommended 6-foot area for social distancing. Read More
Researchers report the anatomical structure of our prefrontal cortex may predict how well we stick to healthy eating diet plans. Read More
A new computational model sheds light on how personal brain structure can influence our cognitive performance on language based tasks. Read More
