Child-development experts warn that parents are expecting too much too soon. Maryanne Wolf, head of Tufts University's Center for Reading and Language Research, describes how recent brain-imaging data show that children aren't ready to read until around age 5 at the earliest. "To hasten that process...
Neuroscientists have known for a while that kids' brains are programmed to do the wave. The cortex, or outer layer of gray matter--which is responsible for such things as planning movement and suppressing inappropriate thoughts or actions--thickens from back to front during childhood and then thins out in...
While detecting VCJD in the blood supply is of pressing importance, what tantalizes investors and clinicians is the prospect of a similar blood test to diagnose Alzheimer's disease. Doctors screen for the illness today using cognitive and memory exams, spinal taps or imaging tests--all pricey, none fail-safe...
Shaw and his colleagues compiled data from the brain scans of 446 children, half of whom had ADHD. The scans used new imaging technology that allowed researchers to "watch" some 40,000 points in the subjects' brains over time, and to figure out which specific regions of the brain developed...
Sacks' neurological interest in music dates back to the 1960s, when he noted that the parkinsonian patients he was treating could often inexplicably be roused from their catatonia by music. The leaps in brain science since then, particularly in magnetic resonance imaging scans, mean that neurologists can now actually see...
