With humanity’s sights set on returning to the moon and eventually setting foot on Mars, understanding spaceflight’s impact on human health is crucial. So a team of researchers has investigated some ...

New research into the health effects of spaceflight has shown astronauts' brains change position and shape over time. Following spaceflight, the brain shifts "upward and backward within the skull", ...

Brainless upside-down jellyfish, like this one in its natural habitat near Eilat, Israel, spend about one-third of their time asleep. Gil Koplovitch Why do animals—including humans—sleep? This ...

Yale School of Medicine (YSM) scientists have discovered a molecular difference in the brains of autistic people compared to their neurotypical counterparts. Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition ...

Researchers used miniature human brains grown in the lab to uncover why certain genetic mutations lead to abnormally small brains. Changes in actin disrupted the orientation of early brain cell ...

A generation growing up with algorithmic feeds is not suffering “brain damage,” but their attention, emotions and habits are being shaped in powerful ways. For many families, the first smartphone or ...

Get started with Java streams, including how to create streams from Java collections, the mechanics of a stream pipeline, examples of functional programming with Java streams, and more. You can think ...

Virginia Tech researchers have shown that memory loss in aging may be reversible. Using CRISPR tools, they corrected molecular disruptions in the hippocampus and amygdala, restoring memory in older ...

A new study may challenge what we thought we knew about brain aging. Scientists have discovered that men’s brains shrink faster than women’s as they grow older, even though women are more likely to ...

Lab-grown brain tissue is too simple to experience consciousness, but as innovation progresses, neuroscientists question whether it's time to revisit the ethics of this line of research. When you ...
