A Neuroanatomical Substrate Linking Perceptual Stability to Cognitive Rigidity in Autism.

Behavioral studies show perceptual overstability in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the neural mechanisms by which such sensory symptoms can coexist and often correlate with seemingly separate core symptoms remain unknown. Here, we have identified such a key neuroanatomical substrate. We have revealed that overstable sensory perception of individuals with ASD is linked with their… Continuar lendo A Neuroanatomical Substrate Linking Perceptual Stability to Cognitive Rigidity in Autism.

10 Secrets to Studying Smarter with ADHD Research shows that students with ADHD don’t need to study harder or longer to conquer exams — they just need to study differently. Here’s how.

For students with ADHD, studying for a quiz or test can be daunting, frustrating, and fatiguing. It doesn’t have to be that way. Luckily, new research shows that students with attention deficit don’t need to spend more time studying; they just need to study differently. https://www.additudemag.com/slideshows/how-to-study-with-adhd-and-ace-even-tricky-exams/?utm_source=eletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=school_august_2019&utm_content=082119&goal=0_d9446392d6-802460dbf5-293139369

Study finds electronic cigarettes (ECs) damage brain stem cells.

A research team has found that electronic cigarettes, often targeted to youth and pregnant women, produce a stress response in neural stem cells, which are critical cells in the brain. “Their brains are in a critical developmental stage,” said Talbot, the director of the UCR Stem Cell Center. “Nicotine exposure during prenatal or adolescent development… Continuar lendo Study finds electronic cigarettes (ECs) damage brain stem cells.
