  • Yet we're only just beginning to look at how climate change, the greatest global threat of our time, might change our brains. (hindustantimes.com)
  • Although the "teenage years are a critical time for brain development, brain remodeling or synaptic pruning, this was a short-term study and did not follow the players longitudinally over several years. (cnn.com)
  • This is the first time that anyone has investigated brain activity during this process. (sciencedaily.com)
  • In a new study, lead author Dr Margo Lillie and her team suggest, for the first time, that the same phenomenon occurs in marine mammals that swim with dorso-ventral (up and down) movements - in other words, whales. (yahoo.com)
  • Subjects were also exposed to tactile stimuli and light stimuli separately and time-periods without stimuli to establish a baseline for brain activity. (nih.gov)
  • So, you may not see an effect of dietary intervention in the whole brain, but if you were to look at specific brain regions at different time points, you might see a dietary effect,' Mudd said. (feedstuffs.com)
