Twins lag behind single-born children when it comes to language development and hand gestures. However, female twins develop communication skills slightly faster than male twins.
Researchers have rewired the neural circuits of one species and given its connections to a new species. The study answers a number of questions about evolution of neural circuits and behavior.
Brain networks are spatially and functionally fluid, and not static, as previously believed.
Gender identity, rather than sex, may cause the epigenome of the brain to differ in males and females.
The microglia in women's brains are more active in regions involved in pain processing, a new study reports.
Our brains work harder to process information when we read about movement in a way that is not typical of our native languages.
Researchers report personality traits in chimpanzees are correlated to the size of their hippocampus. The study reports greater hippocampal volume is linked to an increase in alpha behavior and decreased self regulatory function.
Vibration training not only improved physical symptoms associated with multiple sclerosis, but it also improved cognitive functions including memory capacity and executive function.
A new mouse study reveals common food additives, such as the dietary emulsifiers CMC and P80, may increase the risk of anxiety related disorders and adversely affect social behaviors.
Singing and imagined musical improvisation were associated with weaker connectivity to the executive function network in the brain and to the feeling of flow, which allows for unhindered musical creativity.
A new study reveals salt intake decreases blood flow in the hypothalamus as neurons activate.
According to researchers, a chimpanzees' general intelligence is correlated with their ability to delay gratification and exert self control.
