Opioid use disorder is associated with changes in brain structure, function
In people with opioid use disorder, Yale researchers found several opioid receptor-rich brain regions where both volume and function were altered. Brain volume and function are altered in individuals with opioid use disorder, a new Yale study finds. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI), researchers observed the alterations in several brain regions, some of which differed between men and women.
Advanced infant brain development may not always be a good thing
Machine learning models of brain age can serve as indicators of infants' brain development, a new Yale study shows. The human brain undergoes significant development during the final prenatal months and through the first year of life.
Gut feelings: Social connections change our microbiomes
A Yale-led study shows that many relationship types, including friendships, affect the composition of a person's microbiome.
A basic science breakthrough: Evidence of a new type of superconductor
Yale physicist Eduardo H. da Silva Neto led an experiment that supports the existence of a new type of superconductor.
Antibodies that keep ancient viral DNA in check may inform new treatments
B-1 immune cells can recognize all sorts of viruses, Yale researchers find. Mimicking them may enable a pan-virus treatment that can address many virus types.
A step toward clinically useful brain-behavior machine learning models
Many predictive models don't work well across different settings and populations. But testing them on diverse data can help, Yale researchers show.
Political pros no better than public in predicting which messages persuade
A new study by Yale political scientist Josh Kalla shows that experts performed little better than chance in identifying effective political messaging.
Need a landing pad for helicopter parenting? Frame tasks as learning
In a new study, Yale researchers show that seeing tasks as a chance for children to learn reduces overparenting by about 50%.
Thanksgiving special: dinosaur drumsticks and the story of the turkey trot
Yale researchers find paleontological origins of the way modern birds navigate the world when they're not in flight. Wings may be the obvious choice when studying the connection between dinosaurs and birds, but a pair of Yale paleontologists prefers drumsticks.
Bang! Meet the big ’Red Monsters’ of the early universe
An international research team, including Yale's Pieter van Dokkum, has discovered a trio of supermassive "Red Monster" galaxies in the early universe.
Decoding disease: Novel tool helps identify mutations in mitochondrial DNA
A new study led by Yale geneticists provides a long-needed tool to determine which mutations in the mitochondrial genome cause disease.
Study on opioid poisoning in children points to prevention strategies
Most fatal pediatric opioid poisonings among children occur in their home with many following a history of maltreatment, a new Yale study finds.
The Megacheiran candidate: Fossil hunters strike gold with new species
Ancient "gold" bug fossils, infused with pyrite, have been identified as a new species of arthropod.
