Simply 'sprinkling' a fluorescent probe can quickly show active brain synapses

Research by Professor Ike Silver and co-authors examines why people tend to escalate moral judgments when responding publicly to moral transgressions.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a neurodevelopmental condition, is often associated with difficulties in social communication and repetitive behavior. Previous research reveals that people with ASD often find it challenging to interpret intentions from body language and have difficulty recognizing faces and emotions, which may contribute to their social communication problems.

Our bodies are designed to handle the heat. But high temps and overexertion can push them to the limit, leading to dangerous, potentially deadly heatstroke.

A study led by scientists at King's has revealed how the physical orientation of the heart inside the chest dramatically influences the electrical signals captured in an electrocardiogram (ECG)—a discovery that could pave the way for more personalized and accurate heart diagnostics.

A study conducted at the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Engineering has revealed significant differences between male and female digestive systems: the digestion of milk and milk alternatives is not identical between the sexes.

Shading brings 3D forms to life, beautifully carving out the shape of objects around us. Despite the importance of shading for perception, scientists have long been puzzled about how the brain actually uses it. Researchers from Justus-Liebig-University Giessen and Yale University recently came out with a surprising answer.

A new bionic knee allows amputees to walk faster, climb stairs more easily, and adroitly avoid obstacles, researchers reported in the journal Science.

Semen analysis is traditionally used as part of male fertility assessments, but researchers from the University of Adelaide believe it has the potential to promote healthier lifestyles.

A new device combining ultrasound and advanced imaging to provide crucial information for the safe delivery of drugs into the brain has been developed by University of Queensland researchers. The research is published in the Journal of Controlled Release.

According to survey data from the Stanford Center on Early Childhood, families—across all income levels, races, ethnicities and regions—are increasingly considering how extreme weather conditions affect them. More than half of families with young children across the state are worried about its effects, according to data from the center's RAPID Survey Project, which examines early childhood and family well-being. Heat, in particular, is a significant concern.

Humans can remember various types of information, including facts, dates, events and even intricate narratives. Understanding how meaningful stories are stored in people's memory has been a key objective of many cognitive psychology studies.

Researchers from KU Leuven, the University of California Davis Medical Center, the University of Cologne, and over 20 collaborating institutions report that the antifungal olorofim demonstrated efficacy and tolerability in patients with invasive fungal disease who had exhausted most other treatment options.

Research led by the University of Arizona Health Sciences found a potential link between growth problems among infants and high levels of toxic metals and other elements in the breast milk of Mayan women in Guatemala's Lake Atitlán watershed region.

Already in 2025, the United States has reported more measles cases than in any full year since the early '90s, according to federal data. And that record-setting case count has been driven by a massive outbreak that began in Texas.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction models have improved the ability to stratify adults across the CVD risk spectrum. Researchers at Sutter Health and colleagues at Stanford University tested the performance of the American Heart Association's Predicting Risk of CVD Events (PREVENT) equations in the six largest Asian subgroups as well as in Mexican and Puerto Rican Hispanic subgroups.

Young patients with advanced Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system, now have a better chance of having their own children after treatment.

New research led by the University of South Australia has found that frequently attending in-person events can significantly boost well-being.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has published more than 200 complete response letters, or decision letters, sent as replies to drug and biological product applications submitted to the agency from 2020 to 2024.
