Medical Xpress / Autism social differences emerge early but can change considerably by adulthood, research suggests
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in behavior, social interactions, communication, and sensory perceptions. Some autistic individuals find communicating and connecting ...
Phys.org / Climate change spurs weight gain in owl monkeys
Azara's owl monkeys, a small primate species found in South America, are heavier today than those that lived a quarter-century ago, and evidence suggests that rising temperatures might have driven the weight gain, according ...
Medical Xpress / New technique discovers previously unknown population of immune cells in the Alzheimer's brain
A newly developed microscopy technique allows, for the first time, the visualization of more than 30 protein markers simultaneously in the human brain and uses bioinformatics to analyze their spatial relationships. In the ...
Science X / The first few weeks of fatherhood don't just change lives—they rapidly rewire men's brains in ways few expected
While motherhood's impact on the brain is well-studied, what happens to new fathers' minds has remained largely a mystery. Now, a new study reveals profound, unexpected changes in the paternal brain.
Medical Xpress / How schizophrenia risk may begin: Gene changes reshape signaling in developing neurons
Researchers at King's College London have identified the biological nature and timing of changes in human cortical neurons caused by altering activity of a schizophrenia-associated gene in developing human neurons. This discovery ...
Medical Xpress / A brief kidney crisis in childhood can cast a long shadow over health for years afterward
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a condition in which the kidneys suddenly lose their ability to filter waste from the blood. Developing within hours or days, AKI can cause dangerous waste accumulation and disrupt the body's ...
Medical Xpress / One in four doctors believe human preservation and future revival could work, but not without challenges
A new survey of U.S. physicians focuses on human preservation procedures and the feasibility of future revival. Ariel Zeleznikow-Johnston of Monash University, Australia, and colleagues present their findings in the study, ...
Phys.org / Insects in the city: Flowers alone may not be enough to sustain them
What renders a city garden attractive to insects such as solitary bees, bumblebees and hoverflies? And how well do they pollinate plants in urban areas? A study by the Federal Research Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape ...
Phys.org / Astronomers uncover why some solar eruptions die
A team of scientists has recorded one of the most detailed views ever of a failed solar eruption, a powerful blast from the sun that never broke free. Their work is published in the journal Nature Astronomy.
Phys.org / How economic growth in low-income countries can also protect biodiversity
For decades, environmental debates have been framed around a stark trade-off: economic growth lifts people out of poverty but comes at the expense of forests, wildlife, and climate stability. More people and richer diets ...
Phys.org / High-entropy catalyst lets ammonia fuel cell reach world-class power and durability
As ammonia gains attention as a next-generation energy source capable of overcoming the limits of hydrogen storage and transport, KAIST and a joint research team have developed fuel cell technology that directly uses ammonia ...
Phys.org / Overturning a 200-year belief: New surface design enables two distinct wetting states on a single substrate
NIMS discovered a phenomenon in which droplets on a single solid surface exhibit both a "sticky" and "repellent" state simultaneously. Namely, the wetting behavior branches into two states. This is a discovery that overturns ...
