Psychedelic drugs such as LSD have a profound impact on human consciousness, particularly perception. Researchers at Yale and the University of Zurich provide new insight into the psychedelic effects of LSD on the brain and potential therapeutic uses of...
Ribosomes churn out proteins that carry out all of life’s functions, but when missing a key and previously overlooked factor, they can break down in times of stress, Yale University scientists have discovered.
The protein, Lso2/CCDC124, is so tiny — just...
A Yale initiative that bridges the gap between data science and neuroscience has received an award from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
The Yale initiative was one of 19 partnerships between science and engineering disciplines to receive $8.5...
College students who listen to a 10-minute meditation tape complete simple cognitive tasks more quickly and accurately than peers who listen to a “control” recording on a generic subject, researchers at Yale University and Swarthmore College report.
The...
Neuroimaging has revolutionized the study of the brain, but can provide no information about what is actually happening at molecular level in humans. Scientists at Yale have developed new approaches to link gene expression patterns to brain signals...
On an ancient seafloor, burrowing animals appeared and churned up sediment as a sort of opening act for the Cambrian explosion, the rapid emergence and spread of animal species that began 540 million years ago.
However, this diverse group of animals,...
Children as young as age 4 express dislike of and are willing to punish those who freeload off the work of other group members, a new Yale University study has found.
But kids also make a clear distinction between those who freeload intentionally and...
A new method that can capture the global range of gene activity within single cells is literally MAGIC.
The Markov Affinity-based Graph Imputation of Cells enables researchers to recapture much of the data missed by current technologies that measure the...
Diversity in bacteria — and in all forms of life — ensures the ability to survive random changes in the environment. But when a bacterial band begins to migrate, individual cellular differences present a problem: What happens to the slowpokes?
Yale...
