Using artificial intelligence, researchers discover mutations in noncoding regions of the human genome that may result in autism. The noncoding mutations are associated with altered gene regulation in children with ASD. Additionally, the mutations affect gene expression in the brain and genes already linked to autism, such as those responsible for neuron development and migration.
Positive reinforcement by reward is important for learning based behaviors, but masks the expression of underlying knowledge and true animal intelligence.
Mitochondrial function may help explain the link between intelligence, general health and aging.
A new study looks at Leonardo da Vinci's contribution to neuroscience and the advancement of modern sciences.
Results provide new insight into evolution, IQ and development of the human brain.
Researchers have mapped out a newly discovered genetic disease in children that causes epileptic seizures, loss of magnesium in the urine and reduced intelligence.
Neuroimaging information reveals a small but significant positive association between brain volume and cognitive performance.
Researchers have developed a new method of assessing intelligence and personality by using EEG technology that recorded brain waves during simple cognitive tasks.
Measuring and monitoring the circumference of a preterm baby's head could help to predict intelligence later in life and identify potential neurocognitive problems. Researchers report faster head growth is linked to higher IQ scores at age 26.
A new study reports microdosing psychedelics may enhance creative problem solving without risk of hallucinations, or trips, associated with taking high doses of the substances.
