Exposure to BPA during the gestational period leads to decreased neural viability and neural density in the hippocampus of male offspring. Additionally, exposure led to the dysregulation of ASD-related genes in the hippocampus. Findings suggest BPA may serve as an environmental factor that contributes to the prevalence of male-bias in autism.
Researchers have identified a potential molecular mechanism that causes Fragile X syndrome in the developing fetal brain.
Evolutionary changes in neurotransmitter uptake of VMAT1 may be responsible for higher levels of anxiety.
Researchers have identified a gene that has evolved through natural selection and is implicated in psychiatric disorders and personality traits. The study suggests natural selection has helped shaped our psychiatric traits and helped to maintain human diversity.
Researchers report applying ultrasound to the whole brain improves cognitive dysfunction in mouse models of dementia. A clinical trial is currently underway to test the effectiveness in humans with the neurodegenerative disease.
Researchers utilize a visual search experiment to demonstrate the human visual system has the ability to perceive objects beyond the limits of our visual field.
Perceptual ability is more closely related to contagious yawning than empathy, researchers find.
A new study examines the role paternal aging may play in the development of neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring with an inherited genetic mutation of Pax6.
A new study reveals multiple functions of visual attention.
