Evaluation of the ratios of antioxidants in different samples (foods, herbs, pharmaceuticals, biological fluids, etc.) may help quality control and prediction of possible health effects.

An international team of evolutionary biologists and paleontologists have reconstructed the evolution of the avian brain using a massive dataset of brain volumes from dinosaurs, extinct birds like Archaeopteryx and the Great Auk, and modern birds.

A half-century-old bridge between neuroscience and artificial intelligence has been rebuilt through a newly revealed ultrafast brain-inspired learning mechanism.

Scientists have developed the first three-dimensional mass estimate to show where microplastic pollution is collecting in Lake Erie. The study examines nine different types of polymers that are believed to account for 75 percent of the world’s plastic waste.

A USC-led international team of scientists has found the precise shape of a key player in human metabolism, which could lead the way to better treatments for obesity and other metabolic disease.

Researchers have confirmed that, in a mouse model, the neuropeptide somatostatin can improve cognitive function in the brain.

Researchers have discovered a natural protective mechanism that leads to the programmed death of potentially diseased cells. It protects from cancer that can develop as a result of irregular distribution of genetic information to daughter cells.

Neuroscientists have examined what happens in the brain when hearing gradually deteriorates: key areas of the brain are reorganized, and this affects memory.

New research says that more needs to be done to recognize the needs of partners in their role supporting those recovering from PTSD.

A new study shows pediatric oncology clinical trial enrollment may be down, from 40-70 percent seen in studies completed in the 1990s, to 20-25 percent in the early 2000s, to 19.9 percent in the current study.
