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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Learn how to use advanced techniques like short-circuiting, parallel execution, virtual threads, and stream gatherers to maximize Java stream performance. My recent Java Stream API tutorial introduced ...

The human brain has 86 billion neurons connected by roughly 100 trillion synapses, making it one of the most complex objects in the known universe. Each year neuroscientists make fascinating, ...

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 ...

In a little over ten years, organoid models – miniature, lab-grown clusters of cells that imitate real organs – have transformed how we study human development and disease while accelerating drug ...

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 ...

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 ...

The human brain experiences five distinct eras as we age, and each is defined by changes in our neural architecture that influence how we process information, new research shows. The brain changes ...
