A new study reveals a child's reading skills can be developed with the help of a newly designed child-friendly action video game.
The motivation to invest in social interactions is closely linked to the reward system via the activation of dopaminergic neurons.
A new framework reveals Alzheimer's disease is far more complex than previously believed. Rather than being a disease where the same causes produce the same outcomes, researchers found three different models for the disease, each with its own characterizations and dynamics.
During development, different populations of neurons required for building connections between brain areas share similar genetic programs.
Cold exposure therapies could help alleviate symptoms of multiple sclerosis by depriving the immune system of its energy.
Activation of the immune system oscillates throughout the day, peaking just before we wake.
A new AI algorithm can successfully predict which children with microdeletion of chromosome 22 will develop schizophrenia and other mental health disorders later in life.
The brain does not reliably perceive the frequency of tactile vibrations when the amplitude is varied. Instead, the brain creates an illusion that highlights how far our perceptions of our environment can deviate from physical reality.
When a mother speaks to her newborn during a medical intervention, the baby's oxytocin levels increase and their expression of pain decreases.
Emotional knowledge, cooperative social behavior, and locomotor activity are three key skills for promoting numerical learning in young children.
Combining EEG data and MRI brain scans, researchers discovered how, during sleep, the hippocampus sends memory information it has stored throughout the day to the cerebral cortex, allowing for memory consolidation.
Bilingualism in children on the autism spectrum partly makes up for deficits in theory of mind and executive function, a new study reports.
