A weak heart makes a suffering brain
Heart problems cause disturbed gene activity in the brain's memory center, from which cognitive deficits arise. Researchers at the DZNE come to this conclusion based on laboratory studies. They consider that they have found a possible cause for the i.....»»
Near-infrared photobiomodulation technique targets brain inflammation
As the world grapples with an aging population, the rise in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's is becoming a significant challenge. These conditions place a heavy burden not only on those afflicted but also on their famili.....»»
Fruit fly post-mating behavior controlled by male-derived peptide via command neurons, finds study
Scientists have succeeded in pinpointing the neurons within a female fruit fly's brain that respond to signals from the male during mating......»»
AKG Robotics: Smart Pot and Smart Table
In the heart of Budapest, Hungary, innovation and education converge at the AKG School's robotics club, AKG Robotics. Here, students are not only learning about technology but are actively creating it. The post AKG Robotics: Smart Pot and Smart.....»»
Humans caused climate change. Amid the suffering, now they must solve it
For decades, scientists warned that continued burning of oil, gas, and coal would have devastating climate impacts. Those impacts are being felt around the world......»»
International study highlights large and unequal life expectancy declines in India during COVID-19
A new paper published in Science Advances today finds that life expectancy in India was 2.6 years lower in 2020 than 2019, with women and marginalized social groups suffering the greatest declines......»»
"My brain leaves the room": what happens when teachers talk too much?
About four students in every classroom will have a language or attention disorder. While some of these students will have an official diagnosis of developmental language disorder (DLD) or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), others will b.....»»
Scientists identify brain circuits tied to the behavior of schooling fish
A flock of migrating geese glides through the summer sky in an unmistakable "V" formation… a thundering herd of bison rumbles across the plains as a formidable group... and a massive school of sardines swims mesmerizingly in unison......»»
Lunar leap: GNSS-powered autonomous navigation for moon-bound spacecraft
As lunar missions gain momentum, the demand for advanced navigation technologies that exceed traditional Earth-based systems grows. A new study addresses the challenges of weak Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals and spacecraft maneuver.....»»
Research reveals cuttlefish can form false memories, too
During an event, details like what you saw, smelled, and felt aren't stored as a single memory. Rather, they are encoded and stored in your brain separately. To retrieve that memory, those pieces must get put back together. When that doesn't happen i.....»»
Nanomedicine researchers develop new technology to control neural circuits using magnetic fields
Researchers at the Center for Nanomedicine within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) and Yonsei University in South Korea have unveiled a technology that can manipulate specific regions of the brain using magnetic fields, potentially unlocking the.....»»
Physicists pool skills to better describe the unstable sigma meson particle
While nuclear physicists know the strong interaction is what holds together the particles at the heart of matter, we still have a lot to learn about this fundamental force. Results published earlier this year in Physical Review D by three researchers.....»»
Winston, beloved gorilla at San Diego Zoo Safari Park, dies at 52 after suffering health problems
Winston, a western lowland gorilla who was a favorite attraction at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, has died at the age of 52 after suffering multiple health problems, officials said......»»
Belle II experiment reports the first direct measurement of tau-to-light-lepton ratio
The Belle II experiment is a large research effort aimed at precisely measuring weak-interaction parameters, studying exotic hadrons (i.e., a class of subatomic particles) and searching for new physical phenomena. This effort primarily relies on the.....»»
New research reveals how galaxies avoid early death
Galaxies avoid an early death because they have a "heart and lungs" which effectively regulate their "breathing" and prevent them from growing out of control, a new study suggests......»»
Tourism development doesn"t equal bad jobs—weak government protection does
While tourism's ability to create new jobs is indisputable, there is much talk of these jobs being low quality and precarious. Despite this criticism, many public administrations see tourism as a valid way to create new jobs in their regions......»»
In the heart of Mauritania"s desert, a green oasis cultivates equality
For the residents of Maaden, a green oasis nestled in the depths of the vast Mauritanian desert, communal living, spirituality and sustainable agriculture are the keys to a harmonious existence......»»

Elon Musk’s Neuralink Is Ready to Implant a Second Volunteer
In a livestreamed update on X, Elon Musk and Neuralink executives gave an update on the company's next study participant—and its next-generation brain implant......»»
The Mystery of Consciousness Is Deeper Than We Thought
Despite great progress, we lack even the beginning of an explanation of how the brain produces our inner world of colors, sounds, smells and tastes. A thought experiment with “pain-pleasure” zombies illustrates that the mystery is deeper.....»»
Antiabortion Heartbeat Bills Cause Immense Suffering
The rise in infant mortality in Texas shows that in states with strict abortion bans, forcing people to carry nonviable pregnancies to term codifies cruelty and unnecessary pain.....»»
