A large cross-sectional study has found that children and adolescents who take medication for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) show decreased bone density. Researchers believe the finding should prompt physicians to address risk, and enact preventative strategies to avoid long-term consequences of low-bone density among children receiving medications for ADHD. Study results were presented at the 2016 Annual […]
New in The Scientific American: Blood type may affect brain function as we age, according to a new large, long-term study.

Caregivers and scientists alike have noticed that familiar music can soothe Alzheimer’s patients. Now, a new imaging study shows what’s happening in the brain when that happens. Listening to personal music lit up the visual network, the salience network, and several other parts of the brain, showing higher functional connectivity. As Dr. Norman Foster notes, […]
A new brain imaging study suggests that the combination of hearing a story and looking at illustrations may be better for a child’s brain than either an auditory story or an animation.
