Researchers report concussion can accelerate Alzheimer's symptoms in people with a genetic risk for the disease.
According to researchers, the adult brain may be sensitive to social and economic factors. Researchers report in middle age, better socioeconomic status is associated with more efficient brain network organization and thicker gray matter.
Long term smoking could cause cortical thinning, a new study reports.
Researchers discover differences in the structure of the cerebral cortex in depressed patients, but the differences can be normalized following taking appropriate medications.
Cortical anatomy is not represented by fixed differences between those with ASD and peers not on the autism spectrum. However, differences in symptom profiles and severity, age and cognitive ability are related to brain differences specific to ASD alone.
Decreased cortical thickness appears to be correlated with reported concussions, researchers report.
A new study links better math skills in children with cardiorespiratory fitness and associated gray matter thinning.
A new neuroimaging study reveals middle aged men who experience negative fateful life events, such as the death of a loved one or divorce, show signs of accelerated brain aging.
Neuroimaging reveals those who have spent more years studying have increased cortical thickness in the medial prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate and orbitofrontal areas of the brain. Researchers also identified enhanced gene expression profiles in these brain regions that promote information processing and provide protection against some age-related neurodegenerative diseases.
A new test that uses graphic characters called 'Greebles' could help doctors detect early signs of Alzheimer's disease before the symptoms become apparent.
Learning an instrument can also train children to control their emotions and diminish their anxiety, a new study reports.
A new neuroimaging study reports teens with serious antisocial behavioral problems have significant differences in brain structure than their peers.
