In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers discuss the limits of the US being prepared for coronavirus and the dangers of being unprepared.
Mutations of the RAB39b gene lead to macrocephaly and autism-like behaviors in mouse brain organoid models, and enlargements and impairments in human organoids.
Human-robot interaction and monitoring motor movement may provide clues to developmental disorders such as ADHD and autism in children.
Those with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome had significantly lower brain volume, as well as lower volumes in specific structures, including the thalamus, hippocampus, and amygdala.
Much of a sea star's locomotion is determined by local sensory-motor response at the tube feet level as opposed to global sensory-motor commands. It appears the nervous system relies on the physics of the interaction between the body and the environment to control movement. The findings will help with the development of new robotic systems that utilize a decentralized component to learn hierarchically.
Study reveals liberals and conservatives feel certain violations of moral concerns, such as loyalty and purity, in different areas of their bodies.
Older women exposed to higher levels of air pollution were more likely to experience greater memory decline and Alzheimer's-like brain atrophy compared with those exposed to cleaner air.

Artificial intelligence helps shed light on how people's brains, bodies, and emotions react to listening to music. Music influences parts of the auditory cortex, including the Heschl's gyrus and superior temporal gyrus, specifically responding to pulse clarity. Changes in dynamics, rhythm, timbre, and the introduction of new instruments cause an uptick in the response. The study also identified the best song types for the perfect workout, sleep, and study.
OTOP1 has been confirmed as a sour taste receptor. The protein is essential and sufficient for sour taste receptor cells to respond to acids and stimulate the nerves that enable sour taste perception.
Artificial intelligence systems that use emotional reading algorithms to evaluate facial expressions are not very good at lie detection.
Glioblastoma stem cells' circadian clocks ramp up the cells' metabolism, making them stronger, more resistant to treatment, and able to divide and multiply more rapidly. By targeting the stem cells with a small molecule drug, researchers found mice models lived longer and their tumors shrank.
The record-breaking single 'Old Town Road' is a little bit country, a little bit rock 'n roll, according to an artificial intelligence tool. The deep learning technology also provides a broader understanding of how we perceive and process music.
