A chronic condition that occurs when the pancreas stops making insulin (type 1) or the body can’t effectively use the insulin it makes (type 2), diabetes can lead to a raft of complications. The disease, which affects hundreds of millions of people glo… Continue reading Plants, implants, stomach cells & worms: Top diabetes stories of 2023
Researchers found that applying gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation to the brain during virtual reality training helped budding surgeons to more easily transfer the skills they’d learned to a real-life setting. In addition to training better fu… Continue reading Head zaps help surgeons transfer skills from VR to IRL
New research has found that exposure to childhood trauma increases the likelihood of experiencing chronic pain, such as back and neck pain, in adulthood. The risk increased significantly with exposure to multiple adverse childhood experiences, highligh… Continue reading Adult chronic pain 45% more likely after childhood trauma, study finds
A fascinating study has found that sniffing female tears significantly reduced male aggression and decreased activity in aggression-related brain networks. It’s suggested that the effect, which is caused by chemical signals in tears and is also seen in… Continue reading Sniffing women’s tears reduces male aggression by 44%, study finds
