A new study reports the parieto-occipital areas of the brain appear to be more susceptible to a lack of sleep in children. Read More
Study provides evidence of genetic underpinning for neural synchrony. Read More
Researchers discover abnormalities in the brain's white matter tracts in people with insomnia. Read More
Researchers have been able to restore consciousness to a patient who has been in a vegetative state for 15 years. The groundbreaking study utilized vagus nerve stimulation to help restore consciousness to the patient. Read More
According to researchers, pediatric leukemia patients exposed to high levels of methotrexate are more likely to have problems with mental flexibility and other cognitive skills as long term survivors. Read More
In mice genetically engineered to carry human stuttering mutations, vocalization defects are derived from abnormalities in astrocytes in the corpus callosum. Read More
White matter tracts were significantly altered in babies whose mothers experienced stress during pregnancy. Read More
Researchers have succeeded in making superficial white matter visible in a living human brain. Read More
Structural and functional alterations in the cognitive control network contribute to individual variability in memory performance during aging. Read More
Researchers report looking at neural networks in the brain, rather than just specific regions, could shed new light on why some brain injuries are worse than others. Read More
Researchers report children who underwent general anesthesia and surgery prior to the age of one showed decreased white matter volume and integrity. Read More
Four genetic regions have been identified as playing a role in left-handedness. Three of the four genes were associated with proteins involved in brain development and structure. Neuroimaging revealed those who were left-handed had increased functional connectivity between left and right language networks. Researchers also found correlations between the genetic regions associated with left-handedness and slightly reduced Parkinson's risk, but a slightly increased risk for schizophrenia. Read More
