  • Professor Brad Duchaine Quoted

    PBS Professor and Department Chair Brad Duchaine’s recent publication in Current Biology, “Face-Specific Perceptual Distortions Reveal A View- and Orientation-Independent Face Template,” has been summarized and featured on several news sites including Science Daily, Neuroscience News, The Siasat Daily and NewsGram. Results of the study, achieved through two experiments involving a man with hemi-prosopometamorphopsia, indicate […]

  • Primary Visual Cortex Encodes Information 3D Orienting Movements of the Head

    For the past half century, neuroscientists have seen the visual cortex as the part of the brain that processes imagery. Visual information enters the brain via the retina and is processed one stage at a time by dedicated neural circuits, much like a car is assembled out of discrete components on an assembly line. Such […]

  • Famous Economics Experiment Reproduced Thousands of Times

    In an open marketplace, such as a farmers’ market where produce and other goods like candles and flowers are exchanged for money, the ideal prices for both consumers and sellers will quickly emerge. For example, if a seller tries to offer a bag of peaches for $10 but another vendor is willing to sell similar […]

  • Pinpointing the cells that keep the body’s master circadian clock ticking

    UT Southwestern scientists have developed a genetically engineered mouse and imaging system that lets them visualize fluctuations in the circadian clocks of cell types in mice. The method, described online in the journal Neuron, gives new insight into which brain cells are important in maintaining the body’s master circadian clock. But they say the approach […]

  • Pregnant mother’s immunity tied to behavioral, emotional challenges for kids with autism

    Children with autism born to mothers who had immune conditions during their pregnancy are more likely to have behavioral and emotional problems, a UC Davis Health study has found. The study examined maternal immune history as a predictor of symptoms in children with autism. “We tested the ability of maternal immune history to predict ASD […]

  • Study uncovers the molecular events by which popular antidepressants work

    Some highly effective medications also happen to be highly mysterious. Such is the case with the antidepressant drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs: They are the most common treatment for major depression and have been around for more than 40 years, yet scientists still do not know exactly how they work. Nor […]

  • Unexpected differences between rats and mice gives new insight into the male parental brain

    By making use of an unexpected species difference between rats and mice, scientists have identified a system in the brain that controls how males behave when they become fathers. A central component in this system is the hormone, prolactin, which has previously been shown to prepare the female for motherhood. The researchers were also able […]

  • How we sleep today may forecast when Alzheimer’s disease begins

    What would you do if you knew how long you had until Alzheimer’s disease set in? Don’t despair. New UC Berkeley research suggests one defense against this virulent form of dementia — for which no treatment currently exists — is deep, restorative sleep, and plenty of it.

  • Children Will Wait to Impress Others—Another Twist on the Classic Marshmallow Test

    Individuals who can unconsciously predict complex patterns, an ability called implicit pattern learning, are likely to hold stronger beliefs that there is a god who creates patterns of events in the universe, according to neuroscientists at Georgetown University.

  • Emotion Vocabulary Reflects State of Well-Being

    Vocabulary that one uses to describe their emotions is an indicator of mental and physical health and overall well-being, according to an analysis led by a scientist at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and published today in Nature Communications A larger negative emotion vocabulary—or different ways to describe similar feelings—correlates with more psychological […]
