Using MRIbrainscans, researchers found that kids withautismshowed differences in the structure and function of abrain circuitcalled the mesolimbic reward pathway. That circuit, located deep within the brain, helps you take pleasure in social interaction—something that people with autism struggle with,...
Very preterm birth is a risk factor for long-term neurodevelopmental sequelae.1,2Among the abilities most frequently impaired are executive functions,3,4a set of higher-order and inter-related cognitive skills, responsible for adaptive and goal-directed behavior.5,6Executive function deficits in child...
The ultimate brain exercise to boost overall cognitive function is also the easiest. It involves nothing more than a simple drawing that follows some simple principles. What’s a Memory Palace? It’s a mental recreation of a familiar location. You use it to chart out a simple journey that ...

The hippocampus is a highly plastic brain structure supporting functions central to human cognition. Morphological changes in the hippocampus have been implicated in development, aging, as well as in a broad range of neurological and psychiatric disorders. A growing body of research suggests that hippo...
In other words, the sex of 93% of the people in this study could be determined based on information on brain structure. In another study, Phillips et al. (2018) calculated a global index of sexual differentiation in the brain that explicitly corrected for total volume; t...
A study published April 2 in the journal Human Brain Mapping reports that the pill’s chemicals block the body’s natural hormones, altering the brain’s structure and function. The study concluded that oral contraceptive use “was associated with significantly lower cortical thickness measurements in...
and stress management within the context of a functional medicine practice for five patients with varying levels of cognitive impairment. In a prospective chart review, we examined impact measures including assessment of (1) cognitive skills, (2) brain connectivity, and (3) daily functioning. Three...
