A new study challenges previous research into the role of the FOXO3 gene in super-aging. Researchers found the gene did, to a degree, play a role in longevity, but did not affect living to ages 96+ in men or 100+ in women.

The risk of men and women being diagnosed with cognitive decline and dementia has increased in the U.S over the past 20 years.
A new study sheds light on how we perceive and recognize specific visual stimuli.
According to a Psychological Sciences study, genetics may influence a child's social mobility. The findings could have significant implications for helping to reduce educational inequality.
Human dendrites have different electrical properties from those of other species, a new study reveals. Researchers report electrical signals weaken more as they flow along human dendrites, allowing small sections of dendrites to behave independently from the rest of the neuron.
A new study reports prenatal exposure to common antidepressants and antipsychotics does not increase the risk of a child developing autism.

Researchers have discovered a link between women who sleep for more than nine hours uninterrupted a night while pregnant and an increased risk of stillbirth. The study reports the link appears to be independent of other risk factors.
A newly developed cognitive hearing aid can monitor brain activity to determine who a person is listening to and amplifies that voice to assist the listener. The technology can help a hearing impaired person follow a conversation in a noisy environment far more easily.
