Oct 17th 2024, 11:39
A new computational model analyzes the factors that help determine whether debunking efforts will persuade people to change their beliefs about the legitimacy of an election.

Oct 17th 2024, 11:27
Researchers have developed a novel training protocol for brain-computer interfaces in a study with rhesus monkeys. The method enables precise control of prosthetic hands using signals from the brain alone. Researchers were able to show that the neural signals that control the different hand postures in the brain are primarily important for this control, and not, as previously assumed, signals that control the movement's velocity. The results are essential for improving the fine control of neural hand prostheses, which could give paralyzed patients back some or all of their mobility (Neuron).

Oct 17th 2024, 11:27
Initial prescriptions of benzodiazepines, a class of drugs used to treat anxiety and sleep problems after a stroke may include too many pills for adults ages 65 or older, finds new study.

Oct 17th 2024, 11:27
Neuroscientists have uncovered a mechanism that controls the reactivation of neural stem cells, which are crucial for repairing and regenerating brain cells. The research offers exciting potential for advancing our understanding and treatment of common neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

Oct 16th 2024, 12:09
A new study has found that folate may weaken the link between blood-lead levels in pregnant women and autistic-like behaviors in their children.

Oct 16th 2024, 12:06
A new study suggests that the use of high potency cannabis leaves a distinct mark on DNA, providing valuable insights into the biological impact of cannabis use.

Oct 16th 2024, 12:04
Researchers investigated the neural mechanisms underlying the behavioral transition from the sexually receptive estrus stage to the non-receptive phase, as part of the hormone-dependent behavioral changes during the estrous cycle in female mice.

Oct 16th 2024, 11:58
Despite having no greater chance of developing problems after high risk cardiovascular surgery, women are more likely than men to die from postoperative complications, a new study suggests. The quality of a hospital where the procedure was performed did not affect the disparity between sexes. Researchers say the 'failure to rescue' is an issue for the entire United States health care system.
(https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/10/241015141618.htm) Good physical fitness from childhood protects mental health
Oct 15th 2024, 14:16
A recent study found that good physical fitness from childhood to adolescence is linked to better mental health in adolescence. These results are significant and timely, as mental health problems are currently a major societal challenge, affecting up to 25%--30% of young people. These findings suggest that improving physical fitness from childhood can help prevent mental health problems.

Oct 10th 2024, 12:47
A new study has shed light on why some children and adolescents develop mental health disorders like PTSD, anxiety, or depression after experiencing a traumatic event.

Oct 9th 2024, 12:15
Parenting programs that address both mental health and parenting skills can improve children's development, but often fall short when it comes to offering effective mental-health support for parents, research suggests. 'It's a surprising contradiction,' said the study's lead author. 'Our findings show the potential of multi-component programs, while revealing gaps that need to be addressed.'
