Brain waves show sound processing abnormalities in autistic children
Abnormalities in auditory and language processing may be evaluated in children with autism spectrum disorder by using magnetoencephalography (MEG), according to a study presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). view more (2008-12-01)
Brain's magnetic fields reveal language delays in autism
Faint magnetic signals from brain activity in children with autism show that those children process sound and language differently from non-autistic children. view more (2008-12-01)
Social reasoning and brain development are linked in preschoolers -- Queen's study
New research at Queen's University shows that the way preschool children understand false beliefs can be linked to particular aspects of brain development. view more (2009-07-16)
Children of undocumented parents may be at higher developmental risk

Just as a disciplined exercise regimen helps human muscles become stronger and perform better, specialized workouts for the brain can boost cognitive skills, according to Carnegie Mellon scientists. view more (2008-06-12)
Indigenous Amazonians display core understanding of geometry
Researchers in France and at Harvard University have found that isolated indigenous peoples deep in the Amazon readily grasp basic concepts of geometry such as points, lines, parallelism and right angles, and can use distance, angle and other relationships in maps to locate hidden objects. view more (2006-01-20)
Autistic children's brains grow larger during first years of development
