Around the age of 13, children start preferring the sound of unfamiliar voices. Don’t...

The study by the Stanford School of Medicine used functional MRI brain scans to give the first detailed neurobiological explanation for how teens begin to separate from their parents.

Unfamiliar voices hold special appeal for teens, a sign of a shift from a focus on mostly family to wider networks, brain scans suggest.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of scientists spend tens of billions of dollars to organize and attend conferences. Are scientific conferences truly

Via Google Maps The Mermaid Inn struggles to obtain liquor license ahead of planned East Village reopening Casual seafood stalwart the Mermaid Inn is aiming to reopen in its original East Village location following a seemingly permanent closure last August, according to the New York Post. The popular hangout closed down after 17 years — to the dismay of many longtime customers — as the business owners cited mounting debt and failed rent negotiations with the property’s landlord. Now, th...

Competition and natural selection drive the size discrepancy of sperm and egg cell In most living animals, egg cells are vastly larger than sperm cells. In humans, for example, a single egg is 10 million times the volume of a sperm cell. In a new study, Northwestern University researchers found that competition and natural selection drove this curious size discrepancy. Using mathematical modeling, the researchers considered a time very early in evolution when primordial species reproduced using...

AI identifies pain levels from patient data A research team led by Northwestern University faculty and alumni has found it’s possible to understand a patient’s pain level by examining data from vital signs. In a new study, the team developed and applied artificial intelligence (AI), or machine-learning, algorithms to physiological data — including respiratory rate, blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature and oxygen levels — from patients with chronic pain from sickle cell disease. ...

Photo Researchers/Science History Images/Alamy AI algorithms can assess the pain that someone with sickle cell disease is experiencing by using just their vital signs. Doing so could ensure people receive the most suitable pain management therapy for their condition. “There’s always a trade-off between giving people sufficient medicine to reduce the pain and giving people too much medication so that they have bad side effects or a higher risk of addiction,” says Daniel Abrams at Northwest...
