A new study investigates how white matter connectivity differs in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Using advanced imaging techniques, the researchers found that differences in key neural pathways were linked to core ASD symptoms such as repetitive behaviors.

Study found chronic alcohol impaired decision-making in male rats more than females. Males struggled to adapt to reward changes, while females were less affected. Alcohol altered brain reward processing differently by sex, suggesting why addiction impacts genders differently.

Separate neuronal populations 'remember' different macronutrients and influence behavior to seek them out

Neuroscience (news.northwestern.edu):
Study identifies brain areas that influence political intensity | Prefrontal cortex damage increases political intensity by reducing cognitive control whereas amygdala damage lowers political intensity by dampening emotional responses.

Metacognitive function in young adults is impacted by physical activity, diet, and sleep patterns - The findings suggest that these everyday behaviors may not only influence how we think but also how we think about our thinking.
