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", ...

Astronauts’ brains can change shape and shift positions during stays in space, according to a new study with implications for NASA’s goals to conduct long-duration missions to the moon and Mars. The ...

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 ...

Paul and Earl Hudson were born to a Jamaican mother and an American father who worked as a mechanic for the U.S. Air Force, and they moved all over the country before settling down in Washington, D.C.

As we age, the human brain rewires itself. The process happens in distinct phases, or “epochs,” according to new research, as the structure of our neural networks changes and our brains reconfigure ...

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 ...

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 ...

Back-to-school time has arrived again, with the usual debates about cell phones, with many schools trying a complete ban. That’s a good start, given what we know about the ill effects of smartphones ...

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 ...

It’s a late-night debate in college dorms across the world: Is my red the same as your red? Two neuroscientists weigh in on this classic “Intro to Philosophy” puzzler in research published September 8 ...
