Did you know that groundbreaking research reports that neuroscientists can identify each of us by our unique brain signature much like a neural thumbprint? They have discovered that you and I display ...

Epigenetic changes impact gene activity without actually altering the sequence of DNA, and scientists are now able to diagnose rare disorders based on specific epigenetic signatures. From the ...

"What was interesting is that although the genes function is somewhat similar manners, nine of the disorders showed a unique epigenetic signature with minimal overlap." The study authors suggest that ...

Microbes are the elders of life on Earth — they were here long before us, and they’ll be here long after we’re gone. They drive the biogeochemistry of the planet; without them, the composition of the ...

Metabolic "signatures" in baby teeth can distinguish attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) from autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as well as cases in which both neurodevelopmental disorders are ...

Dream or REM sleep is distinguished by rapid eye movement and absence of muscle tone, but electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings are indistinguishable from those of an awake brain. Neuroscientists have ...
