A new study suggests that greater cumulative exposure to estrogen in life may counter the decline in brain-matter volume that occurs with menopause, in key brain regions affected in Alzheimer's disease.
New research reveals that a recently discovered songbird has traveled a very rare evolutionary path – a finding that challenges the typical model of how new species form.
A new study examines what happened at the genetic level as the nonnative starling population exploded from just 80 birds in 1890, to a peak of 200 million breeding adults in North America.
The annual Dragon Day parade on March 29 is expected to feature a grunge-inspired Dragon designed by first-year architecture students to expand and contract before fully unfurling its wings on the Arts Quad.
