Study: Autism-related behavioural disorders associated to genetic changes
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Autism-related behavioural disorders are linked to a wide range of genetic changes. Scientists have discovered a new molecular cause for this illness. MYT1L, a transcription factor, generally protects nerve cells' molecular identity. When it is turned off genetically in human nerve cells or

New eye-tracking test to quantify toddlers' level of attention to motheres
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
A recent study has created a novel eye-tracking technique to measure toddlers' attention to motherese. Using these metrics, the researchers were able to identify a subset of children with ASD whose low levels of attention to motherese were also related to poorer social and language abilities

Study reveals how Huntington's disease affects different neurons
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Neurons in the striatum, a part of the brain affected by Huntington's disease, are among the most severely affected. The degeneration of these neurons contributes to patients' loss of motor control, which is one of the disease's major symptoms.

Study reveal how virtual reality games, eye tracking detect ADHD
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Eye movement disparities can be used to identify ADHD via eye tracking, virtual reality games, and machine learning, thereby enabling a more accurate diagnosis of attention problems. Their method might be modified to evaluate other disorders, such as autism, and serve as the foundation for a

Study: Synchronized neural oscillations induce empathic behaviour in brain
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
The underlying neurological mechanism that enables humans to feel empathy has been identified by researchers. Empathy is brought on by synchronised neuronal oscillations in the right hemisphere of the brain, which enables the creatures to sense and share each other's dread.
