What is neuroscience? Neuroscience is the scientific study of nervous systems. Neuroscience can involve research from many branches of science including those involving neurology, brain science, neurobiology, psychology, computer science, artificial intelligence, statistics, prosthetics, neuroimaging, engineering, medicine, physics, mathematics, pharmacology, electrophysiology, biology, robotics and technology.
Researchers have identified a mechanism shared by mutations in the SHANK3 and ADNP genes. The genes have been associated with the development of ASD and schizophrenia.
Study reveals there are not that many "girlish girls" or "boyish boys."
People living in areas with higher social vulnerabilities are more likely to face worse mental and physical outcomes following a traumatic injury.
An infusion of the local anesthetic Lidocaine may provide relief to patients with chronic migraines that do not respond to other medications.
Researchers investigate the influence anesthesia has on brain functions.
Brain aging is accelerated by up to 26% in those with progressive type 2 diabetes.
Maternal biological rhythms support the development of the fetal suprachiasmatic nuclei.
The level of dopamine in the brain may have an impact on emotional recognition in those with Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia, a new study reports.
Study reports medications for ADHD have little detectable impact on how much a child with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder learns in the classroom. However, the medications helped children retain attention, improve classroom behavior, and improve seat-time work.
The "pace of aging" score converts several health variables into a single measure that reflects a person's biological aging rate.
A new study sheds light on the biological mechanism behind some genetic forms of epilepsy.
