A new study reports two weeks following a concussion, myelin surrounding neurons appear to loosen. However, the loosening returns to normal two months after a concussion, researchers say.
A new study reports that without astroglia, the corpus callosum can not form correctly
Combining brain scan images with machine learning, researchers identified a number of brain changes following TBI that share similarities with Alzheimer's disease. The findings add to the growing body of evidence that the two conditions follow the same trajectories.
Study confirms the role the corpus callosum plays in language lateralization.
Infants at 7 months of age who go on to develop autism are slower to reorient their gaze and attention from one object to another when compared to 7-month-olds who do not develop autism, and this behavioral pattern is in part explained by atypical brain circuits.
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.
Researchers discover those who score higher for affective empathy have greater gray matter density in the insula.
Researchers report correct communication between both the right and left hemisphere is critical for the development of advanced language skills.
Researchers report utilizing both ultrasound and MRI technology can help doctors to identify fetal brain abnormalities caused by maternal exposure to the Zika virus.
Researchers have identified 107 mutations in the RNA helicase DDX3X that cause cortical malformations in the developing brain. As the DDX3X gene is carried by the X chromosome, the associated developmental problems are more likely to occur in females. In severe cases, the functional changes in DDX3X resulted in a smaller or missing corpus callosum. Almost all of the mutations occurred de novo, meaning they happened during early development rather than being inherited from a parent. Researchers say the malfunction can now be considered to be a development disability syndrome.
A new study links agenesis of the corpus callosum with high incidences of autism.
Higher weight and body mass index in pre-adolescence was associated with poor brain health.
