The brain goes through five distinct stages between birth and death, a new study shows. Scientists identified the average ages—9, 32, 66 and 83—when the pattern of connections inside our brains shift.

mRNA vaccines, such as those used against COVID-19, are effective at generating antibody responses. These antibodies are produced through specialized immune structures called germinal centers, but ...

An analysis of gene variants in more than a million people diagnosed with neurodivergencies and mental health conditions – by far the largest study of its kind so far – has found that 14 conditions ...

The fossil and genetic evidence agree that modern humans originated in Africa. The most genetically diverse human populations—the groups that have had the longest time to pick up novel mutations—live ...

Researchers studied thousands of brain scans to see how the organ's architecture changes over a lifetime. University of Cambridge Your brain constantly rewires itself as you age. It may even go ...

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 ...

The human brain experiences five distinct eras as we age, and each is defined by changes in our neural architecture that influence how we process information, new research shows. The brain changes ...

Singapore-based AI startup Sapient Intelligence has developed a new AI architecture that can match, and in some cases vastly outperform, large language models (LLMs) on complex reasoning tasks, all ...

Scientists at Princeton and the Simons Foundation have identified four biologically distinct subtypes of autism, using data from over 5,000 children and a powerful new computational method. These ...

While those with autism can have overlapping symptoms and behaviors, it has been difficult to identify the different ways the condition appears in different people. But now scientists have pinpointed ...

These four subtypes are: Social and Behavioral Challenges, Mixed ASD with Developmental Delay, Moderate Challenges, and Broadly Affected. “It’s important for families to have groups where they can ...
