University of Cambridge researchers have found that higher than normal activity levels during adolescence could show the onset of mental health problems such as schizophrenia. Credit: University of Cambridge
Scientists have mapped the structural changes that occur in teenagers’ brains...
The researchers could watch in a top-down view the 36 participants passing through a bottleneck during a simple evacuation situation. Each pedestrian was controlled by a real experimental participant who viewed the situation in a realstic way from the...
When the sleep-drive neurons turn on, it puts the fruit flies to sleep. And when the sleep-drive neurons are turned off in well-rested flies, the flies awaken.Credit: Johns Hopkins Medicine
Studying fruit flies, whose sleep is remarkably similar to that...
MRI-derived gray matter measures, density, volume, mass, and cortical thickness, show distinct age and sex effects, as well as age-dependent intermodal correlations around adolescence.

Whether or not they aced the subject in high school, human beings are physics masters when it comes to understanding and predicting...
Image is a Z-statistic map threshold at voxel-height probability of P<.001and cluster probability of P<.05 displayed over axial MNIT1 anatomic template. Significant clusters are located in the anterior cingulate cortex, bilateral inferior frontal, inferior parietal and medial temporal gyrl,...
The same genes that make us prone to depression could also make us prone to positivity, two psychology researchers have suggested.
Professors Elaine Fox, from Oxford University, and Chris Beevers from the University of Texas at Austin reviewed a number...
Negative or positive feelings about faces are related to patterns of activity in the brain's cingulate cortex, according to a new study. Researchers were able to use that insight to alter people's reaction to faces they saw.Credit: © Lisa...
The confidence in our decision-making serves to both gauge errors and to revise our approach, New York University neuroscientists have found. Their study offers insights into the hierarchical nature of how we make choices over extended periods of time,...
