Findings help explain how the hungry brain hinders dieting

In two previous studies, University of North Carolina researchers and colleagues linked infant brain anatomy differences to autism diagnoses at age two. Now they show differences in functional connections between brain regions at 6 months to predict autism at age two

In a new study published in Nature Biotechnology, scientists from Cambridge and Vienna present a new method that combines the organoid method with bioengineering

Device reads brain signals, converts them into motion

What researchers found not only settles an argument about how rats process odors, it suggests an explanation for the much written-about “replication crisis” in some fields of science and points to better ways of designing experiments

Examples of such technologies include using drugs or surgical techniques to treat criminals who have exhibited moral defects

Experiencing beauty requires thought, a team of neuroscientists finds, in a new study that confirms an 18th-century claim by the philosopher Immanuel Kant

Researchers say their findings could advance the search for similar processes in mammals (including humans), which may lead to a better understanding of hunger, cravings, and ultimately weight gain and obesity

Scientists describe novel organoid technology combining various brain regions for investigation of epilepsy, and other neurological diseases, as reported in the current issue of Nature Methods.

In sleep-deprived mice, caffeine and other drugs to promote wakefulness ease pain better than analgesics
