Pilots' mealtime options at cruising altitude aren't just a matter of taste—they follow airline protocols you might not expect.
Neuroscience can explain the disconnect between how much time we think has passed and how much actually has. Our brains create unique network states through drift, helping working and autobiographical memory. Reading about the barrage of news events lately has tricked our brains into thinking more time has passed.
The longest place name in the world is a mouthful—and we dare you to try to pronounce it.
A recent discovery of a molecular connection between autism and myotonic dystrophy, a type of neuromuscular disease, may provide a breakthrough on how clinicians approach autism spectrum disorder. The new study by an interdisciplinary team of biomedical scientists, published on April 21 in Nature Neuroscience, used myotonic dystrophy as a tool or model to learn more about autism – effectively using one disorder to better understand the other.

Autism may be caused by a little-known genetic condition, experts say. They've found children with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) are also 14 times more likely to develop autistic spectrum disorder.
Scientists from The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and the University of Las Vegas, Nevada (UNLV) have uncovered a genetic link between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and a rare genetic condition called myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1).
If you want a visual of the escalating trade war between the United States and China, look no further than a Boeing 737 Max plane painted with the logo of a Chinese airline touching down at a Seattle airport over the weekend.
