<p>Scientists investigating Alzheimer's disease have determined the structure of molecules within a human brain. Their study describes how scientists used cryo-electron tomography, guided by fluorescence microscopy, to explore deep inside an Alzheimer's disease donor brain. This gave 3-dimensional maps in which they could observe proteins within the brain.</p>

<p>Toddlers engage more regions of their brains around 16-months to help them develop important cognitive skills enabling them to follow simple instructions and control impulses. Findings from the study suggests 16 months is a critical period for brain development.</p>

<p>Child-friendly cities prioritize safe environments, healthcare, education, green spaces, and children's participation in decision-making processes. However, children are consulted only for ideas and often excluded from public spaces. A study tackled pedestrian safety around school zones using child-inclusive participatory planning. Their approach included field work, community mapping, and collaborative solution development. Children effectively identified safety risks, shaping a robust safety plan with potential to significantly enhance community safety.</p>

<p>People tend to become less narcissistic as they age from childhood through older adulthood. However, differences among individuals remain stable over time -- people who are more narcissistic than their peers as children tend to remain that way as adults, the study found.</p>

<div style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align:left;color:#999;font-size:11px;font-weight:bold;line-height:15px;">Jul 11th 2024, 11:14</div>
<div style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#494949;text-align:justify;font-size:13px;">
<p>In a recent mouse-model study researchers have now found that the cerebellum also controls thirst, a major function necessary for survival. Specifically, the research team found that a hormone, asprosin, crosses from the periphery into the brain to activate Purkinje neurons in the cerebellum. This leads to an enhanced drive to seek and drink water.</p>

<p>Investigators analyzing the potential cognitive effects of antidiabetic medications in records of more than 1.5 million patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) found risks of dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD) were significantly lower in patients treated with metformin and sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) compared to other antidiabetic drugs.</p>
