Movies in real time show cells of developing fruit fly eye move into position
A simple but revolutionary approach to early Alzheimer’s diagnosis is being pioneered by researchers through an initiative that could pave the way for improved outcomes for individuals who develop the disease in the future.
A small study of young adults, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), found that graphic warning labels affected their motivation to quit smoking more than text-only warning message labels.
Scientists know a lot about how rats navigate their social environment, but not much about the process of human spatial navigation.
A post-mortem analysis of brain tissue from people who had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may help explain enduring mysteries about the disorder, such as why women are more susceptible to it and whether a dampened immune system response plays a role in dealing with stress, a team headed by Yale University and the VA’s National Center for PTSD (NCPTSD) researchers has found.
Pairs of friends were given the illusion of switching bodies as part of a new study and when individuals' personalities synced with their friend's, researchers concluded that beliefs about our personalities are flexible and perceptions of our physical and mental selves help encode our memories.
The game app hexxed may cast a spell on players who have to figure out the rules of the game and what the goal is. Neuroscientists hope to use player strategies to understand how people solve problems compared to how artificial intelligence solves problems.
A special issue of the Journal of Proteome Research celebrates the 90% completion of the human proteome, a catalog of all the proteins encoded by the human genome.
Researchers have discovered that infant brains have an innate structure prewired to read words and letters, connected closely to the brain's language region.
Neuroscientists have for decades thought that much of how humans experience movement, vision and thinking is operated by a very small portion of our brains, called the cerebellum.
Putting ideas out there so everyone knows them is very different, in practice, from actually getting people to do what you want, and The National Academies recently looked at some of the ways social science can get people to follow the recommendations of the rest of the sciences.
Our brains respond differently when talking to a person from a different socioeconomic group than during a conversation with someone of a similar background, a novel new imaging study shows.
A University of California, Las Angeles (UCLA)-led team of scientists has been able to show that sleep takes on a significantly different function in the human brain around the age of 2.5 years, and Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep in that first stage is essential to brain development.
Researchers develop a wider spectrum for dLight1 sensor, allowing multiplex imaging of neurotransmitters
A new portable MRI device detected specific brain abnormalities in 29 of 30 patients taken to Yale New Haven Hospital’s neuroscience intensive care unit after presenting with symptoms of stroke and other neurological disorders, according to a new study published Sept. 8 in the journal JAMA Neurology.
What would you do if you knew how long you had until Alzheimer’s disease set in?
NIH-funded study suggests specific combination of proteins determines neuron type.
Study finds that people literally don’t always see things the same way, which can impact activities that require visual precision.
New molecule for imaging calcium in neurons reduces crosstalk from neighboring neurons.
