Epilepsy affects everyone differently. Some people may find that problems with their mood can affect their epilepsy and how it is managed. How you feel may be different and your view of #epilepsy may also change over time.

Multilingualism Boosts Cognitive Skills in Children With Autism

Children in multilingual households, including those with autism, exhibit stronger executive functions like inhibition, flexibility, and perspective-taking compared to monolingual peers.

Multilingualism also improves social communication and reduces repetitive behaviors, key challenges in autism.

The findings suggest that switching between languages enhances cognitive control without causing language development delays.

Parents can feel reassured that raising children in multilingual environments has cognitive and social benefits.

Researchers are expanding the study to include additional tests and brain imaging to further explore these effects.

Gene Expression Drives Evolution of Human Brain Complexity

Human brain complexity, compared to chimpanzees, arises from differences in gene expression rather than changes in the genes themselves.

Researchers found that human brain cells, especially glial cells like oligodendrocytes, have more upregulated genes, enhancing neural plasticity and signaling efficiency.

This gene expression allows for the slower development and adaptability of human brains, crucial for advanced cognitive abilities.

The study revealed that individual brain cell types have unique evolutionary paths, contributing to their specialization.

Human glial cells, which outnumber neurons, support the complexity of neural networks by enabling faster communication between neurons.

These findings highlight the coordinated evolution of neurons and glial cells as key to the development of human intelligence.
