A new international study has identified 269 new genes linked to depression.
A new study sheds light on brain cells implicated in multiple sclerosis. Researchers found there are several types of oligodendrocytes, and the ratio of these cells differ significantly in those with MS. The findings could help develop new targeted treatments for progressive multiple sclerosis.
Researchers report they are able to predict those who will live longer or die sooner than average based on examining their DNA.
Researchers have identified eight genes linked to red hair. The study also found almost 200 genes associated with hair texture, color and whether the hair grows straight or curly.
A new study reveals verbal and physical signs of deception are harder to detect than people believe.
A new study reports babies born prematurely show better brain development when fed breast milk rather than formula.
According to researchers, using baby talk words such as 'bunny' and 'choo choo' can help boost language acquisition in infants between 9 and 21 months.
Using brain simulations, researchers report emergency cooling techniques could help to minimize long term damage that arises as a result of birth complications and limit the effects of stroke.
A new Nature Communications study reveals 80 newly identified genes that may be linked to an increased risk of developing major depressive disorder.
University of Edinburgh researchers report many genes linked to neuroticism are also linked to depression. The findings may help to develop more personalized treatments with depressive disorders.
A new brain mapping study reveals smokers could be predisposed to their addiction due to the molecular make up of their brains.
A new neuroimaging study reveals patterns of asymmetry in the human brain may be unique to our species and could help explain how we developed language skills.
