New findings published in the journal Brain now show that amyloids, the abnormal proteins found in accumulation in the brain that are a hallmark of the health issue, can be found in individuals as young as 20 years old.
During the last ice age, emperor penguins managed to survive some harsh conditions. Now, scientists have taken a closer look at how they managed to exist during this period of climate change.
Scientists have discovered that our ability to respond to the challenges of a fast-changing culture comes from our brains' ability to flexibly combine and repurpose the neural resources that evolution provided us.
Our human memory can fail us. In fact, our brains can create false memories. Now, though, scientists have found that this phenomenon doesn't just extend to humans; bumblebees can also be unreliable witnesses and create false memories.
Saturn's moon, Titan, may just support life like we've never seen before. Scientists have found that it may be possible that a new type of methane-based, oxygen-free life form that can metabolize similar to life on Earth could exist on the moon.
New findings presented at the Society of Interventional Radiology's Annual Scientific Meeting discussed a new weapon for those dealing with chronic plantar fascilitis.
With a wide-range of symptoms for each individual dealing with the health problem, researchers are hoping to re-establish just what the health problem means.
New findings published in The Lancet show that ADHD may increase the risk of premature death.
NASA's Curiosity rover has detected an episodic increase in the concentration of methane in Mars' atmosphere.
Tropical turtle fossils in Wyoming may show a bit more about the history of Earth's climate. Scientists have found that when our planet got warmer, prehistoric turtles headed north; if the turtles of today try the same technique, though, they may run into trouble.
There may be a type of algae that could help coral reefs cope with warmer temperatures.
Modern logging helps preserve biodiversity in tropical rain forests that are used for timber production.
