Maternal hypothyroidism may contribute to an increased risk of ADHD in their offspring. Read More
Maternal obesity may hinder their child's brain development as soon as the second trimester of pregnancy. High maternal BMI is associated with changes to the child's prefrontal cortex and anterior insula, two brain areas associated with decision making, and behavior. Read More
AI model determined three key features that accurately predict subsequent, severe disease in COVID-19 patients. The three features were levels of the liver enzyme ALT, reported myalgia, and hemoglobin levels. Based on these three factors, the AI was able to determine ARDS risk with 80% accuracy. Read More
Many myths associated with sleep may be detrimental to health, a new study reveals. Contrary to popular belief, drinking alcohol is unhealthy for sleep as it reduces the ability for deep sleep states, and sleeping five hours a night can result in a serious health risk. Read More
Researchers have developed a new model that can predict the likelihood of a person developing PTSD after a shocking event. Read More
Researchers report we recognize what we are looking at by combining current stimuli with comparison to images stored in memory. Read More
Researchers report the gamma-CaMPII protein plays a critical role in learning and memory. The shuttle protein may be dysfunctional in those with Schizophrenia and autism, hindering learning abilities, researchers report. Read More
Researchers provide further evidence that the cannabis compound, CBD, is effective at reducing seizures in people with epilepsy. The new study reveals CBD significantly reduced seizures in people with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Previously, the researchers demonstrated CBD was effective at seizure control in Dravet syndrome.

NYU Langone researchers have developed a new MRI system capable of delivering clear images of bones, tendons and ligaments in the hand. The MRI glove can capture high quality images of joints moving. Researchers say the glove may be useful in diagnosing repetitive strain injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Read More
Neuroimaging technology has allowed researchers to measure brain entropy. Researchers report greater entropy is linked to more versatile information processing. Read More
A new study from researchers at NYU Langone reveals a single dose a lithium chloride, a drug used in the treatment of bipolar disorder, may help to reduce sleep, memory and learning problems associated with fetal alcohol syndrome. Read More
Researchers report it takes less than a tenth of a second for mice to distinguish between different odors. Read More
