Florida is known for many things: Disney World, pleasant weather and being the setting for Starring Sally J. Friedman as Herself. Now it's being recognized for being the home of one more special thing: A zombie cat who clawed his way up and out of his final resting place.

About 100 brains have gone missing from University of Texas at Austin. The brains have exited the lab. Nobody knows where they've gone. And despite AOL's tweet from this morning, T. Swift has a pretty solid alibi... For last night, at least.

A woman in China's Shandong Province lived to the ripe old age of 24 while missing a giant chunk of brain goo. She checked into a hospital with complaints of dizziness and nausea, and checked out with the knowledge that there was a piece of her brain actually missing. What?

Research published last week in the journal JAMA Psychiatry found less grey matter in the brains of subjects who watched tons and tons of pornography. EXPLAINS INTERNET TROLLS AMIRITE.

Several different studies support that knitting—and crafting in general—serves as a natural anti-depressant, helps ease anxiety and stress, can protect your brain from aging and has the effects as meditation.

What's up, brain-havers!? Feeling a little less-than-fresh? Maybe a slight headache? Something not quite right up in the dome? Well, you could be dehydrated. That's probably it. Did you drink any water today? You know I told you you should drink more water! Are you getting enough sleep? Sometimes when I can't sleep…

Meet 12-year-old Paloma Noyola Bueno. She goes to José Urbina López Primary School in Matamoros, Mexico. She's being touted as "the face of Mexico's unleashed potential." Mentioning Steve Jobs in the headline is purposely attention-grabbing — on Wired's part and on mine — but the gist of it is this: Our current idea…

Okay, so, it's sort of a no-brainer that super-severe calorie restriction (i.e. being really, really hungry all the time) can do a number on your ability to focus on everyday tasks—because, you know, your brain needs calories to function just like the rest of your body. But one new study suggests that even…

It sounds kind of like a science fiction plot except that it's real: researchers have grown pea-sized brains in a lab using stem cells made from human skin.

It's been definitively proven on this very site that nothing is better than sex, not even chocolate. But for old people, that might not be the case. A new study has found that chocolate might make them harder, better, faster stronger – at least in the brain.

Hey parents! Guess who's smarter than your toddler? Freaking chickens. Yeah, you heard right. Your kid is more idiotic than the chicken that was pulverized into a cute, star-shaped nugget you fed your little one for dinner last night. A new study sponsored by the Happy Egg Company (lol) has found that domesticated…

This month, a revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders—known as the DSM-5—is set to be published, but a growing number of experts in the field are questioning the scientific validity of the guide, and list a number of "potentially harmful" changes.

Eternal or even elongated life is an idiotic thing to wish for. You don't want to get old, and then tack on 50 more years of wrinkles and Metamucil. But prolonged youth? Full body youth? More time being young and nubile and beautiful? Absolutely. And the key to that could lie right inside your brain.

Malala Yousafzai, the teenage girl who was shot in the head by a Taliban extremist for the outrageous crime of wanting to go to school (while female!), has just two more surgeries to go—one to install a cochlear implant and the other to patch her vulnerable damaged skull with a titanium plate.

New research suggests that high consumption of soda and juice correlates with an increased risk of depression among adults—and those who drank diet versions of the same beverages were even more depressed. Adults who consume large amounts of coffee, however, are at a slightly decreased risk. Isn't that just sodapressing

You know how old people are forever getting scammed by totally obvious grifters? Sinking their life savings into pyramid schemes selling Canadian yarn art ("It sells itself"), or putting all their gold in a bag and mailing it to Glenn Beck? Well, it's not because the elderly are a buncha rubes, or that they know less…

When it comes to spatial memory—the part of one's memory responsible for navigation—there appears to be an inherent difference between the sexes. According to a study published in the journal Applied Cognitive Psychology, men and women use different methods for remembering where one object is in relation to…

Children are soooo selfish, aren't they just? They're always leaving shit behind for parents to clean up, shit like gross underwear, dead childhood pets, erotica so well-hidden that they forgot all about it when they moved out, and, according to the latest and greatest scientific research, fetal cells that they…

Getting older is pretty much the scariest thing. We gain weight, our skin sags, our bones hurt, and our brains get weird. It's totally dumb! I am against it! That's why there are a million billion products (I counted) dedicated to preserving youth, and people do crazy shit like rub butterfly placenta on their faces…
