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 ...

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 ...

Scientists who study the brain have long tried to unlock the neural mysteries of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. They can be difficult to diagnose and even harder to treat. The scientists began ...

Having previously explored a study that suggests AI is making us stupider, it comes as no surprise that it might be because it is rewiring the way we think. And it's even less of a surprise when we ...

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 ...

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 ...

Jenny Graves receives funding from the Australian Research Council. Differences between men and women in intelligence and behaviour have been proposed and disputed for decades. Now, a growing body of ...

Computer programming powers modern society and enabled the artificial intelligence revolution, but little is known about how our brains learn this essential skill. To help answer that question, Johns ...

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 ...

Pound-for-pound, the human brain is the body’s most metabolically costly organ, consuming 20% of our energy and accounting for an outsize portion of our anatomy compared with most other animals.

Babies start processing language before they are born, a new study suggests. A research team in Montreal has found that newborns who had heard short stories in foreign languages while in the womb ...
