If you are increasingly worried about your child’s ability to focus or keep up academically, you’re not alone. World-renowned neurologist Dr. Majid Fotuhi, MD, Ph.D., told Newsweek that those concerns ...

Scientists are still learning how spending prolonged periods of time in the microgravity of space can affect astronauts’ health. The environment has been shown to accelerate bone density loss and the ...

The Dehnel phenomenon is a case of extreme plasticity through which some mammals reduce and regenerate their brains according to the season. This mechanism allows species such as the common shrew to ...

Spaceflight takes a physical toll on astronauts, causing muscles to atrophy, bones to thin and bodily fluids to shift. According to a new study published in the journal PNAS, we can now add another ...

OpenJDK project teams will focus work on features such as value types, code reflection, AOT compilation, and structured concurrency in the coming year. Oracle’s Java team in 2026 will work toward ...

The human brain processes information at different speeds depending on the situation, with some signals requiring immediate responses, such as reacting to a sudden sound or movement. Others develop ...

The human brain is a greedy organ. It gulps energy, demands constant upkeep, and somehow grew far larger (relative to body size) than the brains of any other primate. Scientists have always wondered ...

Tiny lab-grown brains are offering an unprecedented look at how schizophrenia and bipolar disorder disrupt neural activity. Researchers found distinct electrical firing patterns that could identify ...

A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence infant brain growth, a trait associated with autism. Researchers have made ...

The human brain is constantly processing information that unfolds at different speeds—from split-second reactions to sudden environmental changes to slower, more reflective processes such as ...

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 ...

CHICAGO (WLS) -- There is a new and major push to understand the level of microplastics in drinking water in Chicago and throughout the country. Politicians, advocacy groups, and governors, including ...
