Exposure to excessive screen time at age two is associated with poorer communication and daily living skills at age four, however, spending time outdoors can mitigate some of the negative effects of screen time.
A newly developed fluorescent sensor is able to detect oxytocin in living animals.
Study reports young infants can make and act on moral judgments, shedding new light on the origins of human morality.
Using electrocorticogram technology to capture brain waves, researchers found the meaning of what people imagine can be determined from brain wave patterns, even if the image differs from what a person is looking at.
Using chemogenetic technology to deactivate a small group of neurons in the claustrum made mice more resilient against chronic stress and reduced anxiety behaviors.
Viewing a subliminal image of their own faces, participants showed an increase in activity in the dopamine reward pathway in the brain. Findings shed new light on the underlying neural processes of self facial recognition.
Salt crystals can precipitate at low concentrations due to local density fluctuations. Their repeated precipitation dissolution behavior promotes amyloid-beta peptide aggregation.
Three days of training with brain-computer interface technology reduced phantom limb pain. Patients reported a 30% reduction in pain after one session, and the effect lasted up to five days after training was complete.
Study uncovers how misinformation and fake news can spread via social media platforms like Twitter. Those with high numbers of mutual followers are more likely to spread "dreadful" misinformation. Findings could offer solutions to prevent fake news dissemination.
A new convolutional neural network that utilizes MRI brain scans can forecast genetic mutations in glioma brain tumors.
Researchers have developed a neurofeedback system which allows Parkinson's patients to voluntarily control beta wave activity in the subthalamic nucleus.
Osaka University researchers reveal the brain region that makes us feel uneasy over unnatural android movements.
