Men with a more fragile sense of masculinity, or whose feelings of masculinity rely more on others, are more likely to act aggressively in order to prove their masculinity.
Researchers report appetite signals cross a single synapse in under 100 milliseconds, relaying information from the gut to the brain much quicker than previously thought.
Researchers report older people may make riskier decisions than younger people.
A newly developed system that uses OCT imaging and deep learning should enable better detection and monitoring of glaucoma.
A new deep learning algorithm is superior to human experts in distinguishing between retinal ganglion cells in healthy patients and in those with glaucoma. The AI system could potentially help improve the diagnosis of both eye and brain diseases.
Air pollution along with housing insecurity and stress during pregnancy leads to an increased risk of autism-like social behaviors and differences in neural anatomy in male mice offspring. Researchers believe the changes could be due to the immune system.
Researchers report a drug used to slow cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease may help to reverse memory and learning problems in teens who binge drink.
Memory editing occurs on the fly, leaving the brain susceptible to creating memories that may not be accurate.
Convolutional neural network model significantly outperforms previous methods and is as accurate as humans in segmenting active and overlapping neurons.
Astrocytes are involved in regulating inhibitory synapses by binding to neurons through the NrCAM adhesion molecule.
Researchers have identified a new role for astrocytes, as regulators of synaptic function and development in the brain.
Researchers say those who were 45 and show more signs of aging, including cognitive problems, skin wrinkles, and a decrease in cardiovascular health, are at increased risk of dementia and other frailties associated with old age.
