Researchers have discovered a possible new treatment for Alzheimer's disease after noticing the way in which insulin signaling works in the brains and pancreas of diabetic patients.
A new study reveals multiple functions of visual attention.
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.
Perceptual ability is more closely related to contagious yawning than empathy, researchers find.
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.
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 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.
Evolutionary changes in neurotransmitter uptake of VMAT1 may be responsible for higher levels of anxiety.
Researchers have identified a potential molecular mechanism that causes Fragile X syndrome in the developing fetal brain.
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.
Artificial neural networks help researchers uncover new clues as to why people on the autism spectrum have trouble interpreting facial expressions.
Optogentic stimulation has the potential to cultivate resilience to epileptic seizures in animal models, researchers report.
