For decades, it was impossible for clinicians to know which babies with major heart defects might eventually have developmental abnormalities, like ADHD and learning differences. Now, by adapting a simple and safe oxygen test, UC San Francisco researchers believe they can identify those most at risk, potentially leading to early detection and life-changing treatments.

Reducing amounts of arsenic in drinking water can lower long-term deaths from cardiovascular disease and cancer, a new study shows.

A team of NYU researchers identified a particular part of the brain that serves as an “inference engine.” The region, the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), allows animals to update their understanding of their surroundings based on changing circumstances.
