A new robotics system can create a kinematic model of itself and use the model to plan motion, reach goals, and avoid obstacles in a variety of situations.
Early-life exposure to high levels of air pollution was associated with poor inhibitory control during later childhood and poorer academic performance during adolescence.
Prolonged anesthesia significantly alters the synaptic architecture of the brain, regardless of age.
Researchers adapt the popular 'bag of words' algorithm to tack every move of a Hydra.
Researchers report boys on the autism spectrum tend to have lower fractal dimension in the right side of the cerebellum than those without autism.
Researchers discover a slightly increased risk of children developing autism if the mother had a fever during the second trimester of pregnancy. However, researchers found no cases of ASD in children of mothers who took ibuprofen to help manage the fever, a new study reports.
