| Wiggling worms suggest link between vitamin B12 and Alzheimer's Posted: 29 Sep 2021 01:38 PM PDT Worms lose their wiggle when they get Alzheimer's disease, but researchers found that worms fed a diet of E. coli with higher levels of vitamin B12 were given a layer of protection from the dreaded degenerative brain disease. |
| What are ideal blood sugar levels for preventing repeat strokes, heart attacks? Posted: 29 Sep 2021 01:01 PM PDT Blood sugar control has always been important for people with diabetes when it comes to preventing a stroke. But a new study finds for people with diabetes who have a stroke, there may be an ideal target blood sugar range to lower the risk of different types of vascular diseases like a stroke or heart attack later on. |
| Stress of COVID-19 pandemic caused irregular menstrual cycles, study found Posted: 29 Sep 2021 12:57 PM PDT Women and people who menstruate experienced irregularities in their menstrual cycle because of increased stress during the COVID-19 pandemic, a new study has found. |
| Glioma subtype may hold the secret to the success of immunotherapies Posted: 29 Sep 2021 12:42 PM PDT A common mutation in gliomas sensitizes them to immunotherapy, a finding which researchers believe could have broader therapeutic implications for all glioma patients. |
| Exoskeleton research demonstrates the importance of training Posted: 29 Sep 2021 11:27 AM PDT New research shows that the benefits people could reap from exoskeletons rely heavily on having time to train with the device. |
| Understanding hearing loss from noise damage through gene expression changes Posted: 29 Sep 2021 09:43 AM PDT A team led by researchers has published an online interactive atlas representing the changes in the levels of RNA made in the different cell types of ears of mice, after damage due to loud noise. From this analysis, the research teams identified a handful of drug candidates that may be able to prevent or treat the damage, and ultimately preserve hearing. |
| Back pain: Psychological treatment shown to yield strong, lasting pain relief, alter brain networks Posted: 29 Sep 2021 08:28 AM PDT A study of chronic back pain patients finds that more than two-thirds of those who underwent a novel, 4-week psychological treatment were pain-free or nearly pain-free afterward. Those in the treatment group also saw brain regions involved in pain processing quiet. For many, the benefits lasted at least one year. |
| 'Is that a bacon sandwich?' Fruit flies react to smells while asleep Posted: 29 Sep 2021 08:28 AM PDT Researchers have tracked flies' ability to interpret information while asleep, showing which parts of the brain remain 'awake'. |
| Researchers use classical music to make protein songs more pleasant to listen to Posted: 29 Sep 2021 08:28 AM PDT In recent years, scientists have created music based on the structure of proteins as a creative way to better popularize science to the general public, but the resulting songs haven't always been pleasant to the ear. In a new study, researchers use the style of existing music genres to guide the structure of protein song to make it more musical. |
| Study identifies protein important for motor coordination and exercise performance Posted: 29 Sep 2021 08:28 AM PDT Researchers have identified a protein that improves muscular metabolism, motor coordination and exercise performance in mice. The findings could be of therapeutic value for patients with muscle and neurological diseases, such as ALS. |
| Hippocampus is the brain’s storyteller Posted: 29 Sep 2021 08:28 AM PDT A new brain imaging study shows that the hippocampus is the brain's storyteller, connecting separate, distant events into a single narrative. |
| Study shows fragile X treatment can incur resistance, suggests ways around it Posted: 29 Sep 2021 07:19 AM PDT While the brain acquires resistance to continuous treatment with mGluR5 inhibitor drugs, lasting effects may still arise if dosing occurs intermittently and during a developmental critical period, a new study finds. |
| Scientists find vital link to identify people at risk of aneurysms Posted: 29 Sep 2021 07:19 AM PDT A new study has measured a link between variations in size of the brain's arteries and the likelihood of a cerebral aneurysm, providing scientists with a new screening tool to monitor people at risk. |
| When to break from the herd to make a better decision Posted: 29 Sep 2021 07:18 AM PDT People learn valuable information from how long others hesitate before making their decisions, a new study suggests. |
| An algorithm to predict psychotic illnesses Posted: 29 Sep 2021 06:26 AM PDT Researchers have used the method of longitudinal network analysis applied to children, in order to detect the symptoms that herald the development of psychotic illness in the future. |
| Science backs nature as key to children’s health Posted: 29 Sep 2021 06:26 AM PDT The presence of greenspaces near homes and schools is strongly associated with improved physical activity and mental health outcomes in kids, according to a massive review of data from nearly 300 studies. |
| EMS ketamine use on agitated patients on cocaine increases intubation 5.75-fold, study finds Posted: 29 Sep 2021 06:26 AM PDT Patients with excited delirium often are administered ketamine by EMS before arriving at the hospital. Many of them are intoxicated or are using illicit substances, which may alter the properties of ketamine. A study explored if patients who received prehospital ketamine with concomitant substance intoxication have higher rates of subsequent intubation in the ER compared to those without confirmed substance usage. Among the results, cocaine intoxication had a statistically significant 5.75-fold increased rate of intubation. |
| Children do not understand concept of others having false beliefs until age 6 or 7 Posted: 28 Sep 2021 09:13 AM PDT Understanding how others think, including the ability of other people to hold false beliefs, is important for social interaction. Called theory of mind, this ability has been thought to occur in children around age 4 years. New research suggests otherwise and shows that children do not understand others' false beliefs until age 6 or 7 years. Young children can pass theory-of-mind experiments using rudimentary concepts of seeing and knowing, without an understanding of mental representation. This work has implications for development and education. |
| The vicious circle of high academic achievement Posted: 28 Sep 2021 08:24 AM PDT For some teenagers, the new school year means reuniting with their friends.
