Waking up feeling stressed and anxious can impact your cognitive function throughout the day, researchers report. A new study reveals those who woke up feeling as though the day ahead would be stressful experienced problems with working memory later in the day.

Researchers report the total amount of rare genetic mutations in a person's genome can explain why those with a disease associated mutation can have vastly different symptoms. Read More
People with elevated exposure to ozone and high levels of a genetic variation are at an increased risk of developing autism, a new study reports. Read More
Researchers have identified electrical activity in the brain that is specific to the start of migraines. The new study reports spreading depolarization can be seen as a migraine begins, and an electrical current can be used to stop it in its tracks. Read More
Researchers have developed a new method for evaluating drug safety. The test is able to detect stress on cells at an earlier stage than current methods that rely on detecting cell death. Read More
Researchers believe the adolescent brain may be more sensitive to the effects of alcohol as it is still developing and less robust than adults' brains. Read More
