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 ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development of computational models inspired by the brain's layered organization, also ...

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 ...

Anyone who grew up in the 90s will probably remember the thrill of racing Rainbow Road in Mario Kart or the shock of discovering Pokémon Red’s hidden secrets without a guidebook. Those games came in ...

A generation growing up with algorithmic feeds is not suffering “brain damage,” but their attention, emotions and habits are being shaped in powerful ways. For many families, the first smartphone or ...

Tijl Grootswagers receives funding from the Australian Research Council. Sophie Smit does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit ...

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 ...

Tell me about what you had for dinner last night. There are different ways you could fill in the details of that story. You could give perceptual descriptions of how your food looked and tasted. Or ...

It might finally be time to set those parental controls. New research suggests that social media isn’t just feeding your kid the latest memes — it may actually be messing with their brainpower. The ...

Looking ahead: Swiss researchers are exploring the frontier of computing by creating processors from living cells, a field known as biocomputing. Their work, though inspired by concepts often seen in ...
