After just one season of playing football, neuroimaging technology reveals changes in gray and white matter correlated with exposure to head trauma in high school students, a new study reports.
Fractional anisotropy values are reduced in the corpus callosum and middle orbital gyrus in obese teens. Researchers also discovered a positive correlation between these brain changes and neuroinflammation, insulin levels, and leptin resistance.
Obesity is associated with alterations in brain structure, including lower gray matter volume and smaller globus pallidus volume.
A new study reports inadequate iron intake during pregnancy can have implications for infant brain development.
Researchers discover children with sensory processing disorder have quantifiable differences in brain structure. The finding shows a biological basis for the disorder which sets it apart from other neurodevelopmental disorders.
Researchers have identified a link between the patterns of brain activity that occur during periods of rest and the physical structure of the brain.
Former NFL players who started playing tackle football before the age of 12 have greater risk for altered brain development than those players who started later, a new study reports.
White matter changes in older adults to allow for learning, while in younger adults changes are seen in gray matter, a new study reports.
The process of neural connection re-organization begins earlier in girls. Researchers believe this may explain why they mature faster during teenage years.
According to a new study, some high school football players show measurable brain changes after one year of playing the sport, even in the absence of a concussion.
Using resting state fMRI, researchers discover pig brains may be better models for studying human neurological conditions than previously thought.
A new neuroimaging technique allows neurosurgeons to see neural connections prior to surgery, thus preserving and protecting the brain's critical functions when operating.
