A new study reports on a link between age, body mass index and brain integrity in psychosis. Researchers discovered higher age, BMI and severity of psychotic symptoms were negatively associated with cortical thickness and brain activity when patients were asked to perform cognitive tasks. Read More
A new study reports specific genes are linked to differences in brain structure in children with ASD. 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
Drexel University researchers reveal that while evolution may have allowed for bigger brains, some regions may not have kept up with the growth. Read More
University of Basel researchers reveal the volume of the anterior insula, a brain area associated with emotion and empathy, is larger in boys who express higher levels of callous-unemotional traits. 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
A new neuroimaging study reveals patterns of asymmetry in the human brain may be unique to our species and could help explain how we developed language skills. Read More
In as little as two years of learning, music can change the structure of the brain's white matter and boost networks implicated in decision making in children, USC researchers report. Read More
According to researchers, the size, shape and number of dendritic spines in the brain may determine whether a person develops Alzheimer's disease. Read More
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
A new study reveals our brains undergo microstructural changes from early to mid adulthood. Researchers say they can accurately estimate a person's age by looking at their brain structure. Read More
