          Does ‘Harsh Parenting’ Lead to Smaller Brains?

          Children whose parents use "harsh" punishments, such as spanking, have smaller brain structures during adolescence. The decreased size was most noticeable in the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, two areas of the brain associated with emotional processing and the emergence of depression.

          Abnormal Hyperactivation in the Brain May Be an Early Sign of Alzheimer’s

          Hyperactivation in specific brain areas may be an early biomarker for Alzheimer's disease. Researchers found those who reported concerns over diminished memory skills, and with other risk factors for Alzheimer's, showed signs of hyperactivation in brain areas prior to the diagnosis of dementia.

          Is it autism? The line is getting increasingly blurry

          A new meta-analysis of autism data reveals the difference between people diagnosed with autism and the general population is shrinking. Measurable differences between people with ASD and people not on the spectrum has decreased over the past 50 years. Researchers say the definition of autism may be getting too blurry to be meaningful, and the condition may be at risk of being trivialized.
