A new study shows that people who are deaf from an early age experience a rewiring of their brain's visual pathways, dedicating more resources to peripheral vision to help detect hazards, though this slightly reduces their focus in central vision.

Prenatal cannabis exposure was associated with alterations in large-scale functional brain network connectivity in late childhood, higher levels of psychopathology and significant differences across multiple cognitive domains, according to a study on 10,838 children (9-10 years)

A new study indicates that while puberty and pregnancy lead to similar structural remodeling in the female brain through reductions in gray matter, the menopausal transition presents a unique pattern where typical age-related gray matter loss temporarily pauses.

Autistic adults showed elevated dopamine receptors and altered brain connectivity compared to their peers - autistic individuals exhibit higher dopamine D2 receptor levels and elevated glucose energy consumption in deep brain regions

Is AI ruining my brain?

Effects of music training on the child's brain and cognitive development

When the brain is unsure which information matters, visual features that are normally encoded separately become mixed within the same neurons, causing irrelevant information to interfere with perception and reducing performance on uncertain or multitasking tasks

Google maps entire brain and central nervous system of adult male fruit fly, software engineers immediately make it run Doom — AI-powered 3D model of over 166,000 neurons can also play Super Mario 64

New neuroscience research suggests that age-related memory decline may stem less from forgetting and more from the brain storing memories with less precision, causing details to become increasingly blurred over time.

In mice, researchers found evidence that Alzheimer’s disease may originate outside the brain, with signals from other organs helping drive the neurodegenerative changes linked to memory loss and cognitive decline.
