In the second subtype, gray matter volume is largely similar to healthy brains.
A new study confirms that scanning a person's brain with an fMRI is more accurate at picking up lies than a traditional polygraph test.
The loss of the protein neurofibromin 1 (NF1) in adult male flies resulted in social impairments. The deficits were traced back to a primary disruption in a small group of peripheral neurons which control external stimuli, including touch and smell, that communicate to the brain.
