Genetic variants linked to autism are associated with structural differences in neonatal white matter, particularly increased ...

Seventeen contiguous sagittal 7-mm-thick slices were acquired to provide coverage of the entire brain. Scanning was synchronized with the onset of the first tone so that 7 images were acquired ...

Abdulai-Saiku et al. investigated how the X chromosome influences brain ageing and cognition in mice, and provide compelling evidence that X-imprinting could indeed create inter-female variation.

Scientists have taken a look at the effect dying has on the human brain and what they found is pretty insane. The idea that your brain just stops working when you die couldn't be further from the ...

while an “outer” brain processes huge amounts of raw input in parallel. This view might explain why reading, speaking, and typing share a similar bottleneck. Reading a sentence or listening to someone ...

During that time, lots of alcohol in the "queue" is spilling out into our bloodstream, running around the body and infiltrating the brain, biding time until the liver is ready for it. This is how ...

It’s a complex yet efficient cleaning mechanism that works in every organ except the brain. “When cells are active, they produce waste metabolites, and this also happens in the brain.
