MIT model helps researchers 'see' brain development
Large mammals—humans, monkeys, and even cats—have brains with a somewhat mysterious feature: The outermost layer has a folded surface. Understanding the functional significance of these folds is one of the big open questions in neuroscience. view more (2007-04-10)
MIT: Why we have difficulty recognizing faces in photo negatives
Humans excel at recognizing faces, but how we do this has been an abiding mystery in neuroscience and psychology. In an effort to explain our success in this area, researchers are taking a closer look at how and why we fail. view more (2009-03-19)
Medication shows promise in the treatment of hyperactivity associated with autism-related disorders

Trust-building hormone short-circuits fear in humans
A brain chemical recently found to boost trust appears to work by reducing activity and weakening connections in fear-processing circuitry, a brain imaging study at the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) has discovered. view more (2005-12-09)
Teaching autistic teens to make friends

UC Davis study with mice links thimerosal with immune system dysfunction
A team of cell biologists, toxicologists and molecular bioscientists at UC Davis has published a study connecting thimerosal with disruptions in antigen-presenting cells known as dendritic cells obtained from mice. view more (2006-03-21)
Carnegie Mellon study identifies where thoughts of familiar objects occur inside the human brain
A team of Carnegie Mellon University computer scientists and cognitive neuroscientists, combining methods of machine learning and brain imaging, have found a way to identify where people's thoughts and perceptions of familiar objects originate in the brain by identifying the patterns of brain activity associated with the objects. view more (2008-01-03)
Robot playmates monitor emotional state of children with ASD
The day that robot playmates help children with autism learn the social skills that they naturally lack has come a step closer with the development of a system that allows a robot to monitor a child's emotional state. view more (2009-02-18)
