With humanity’s sights set on returning to the moon and eventually setting foot on Mars, understanding spaceflight’s impact on human health is crucial. So a team of researchers has investigated some ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. David DiSalvo writes about science, tech and culture. How many times have we heard the argument repeated, that women and men are ...

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 ...

During ageing, men experience a greater reduction in volume across more regions of the brain than women do, according to a longitudinal study published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy ...
