New research has analyzed brainwave patterns in both children and young adults while they wrote by hand and as they typed on a keyboard. The results revealed distinctly different brain patterns between the activities, leading the researchers to suggest… Continue reading EEG study finds brain activity differences between handwriting and typing
Every year around two million people suffer suffer from a skin disease called leishmaniasis, which is caused by the Leishmania major parasite. Humans have battled with this parasite for centuries, and some cultures have practiced a primitive form of in… Continue reading CRISPR-gene-edited parasite leads to unique new vaccine

The randomized clinical trial tested the 16:8 method of time-restricted eating and found it was no more… Continue reading Intermittent 16:8 fasting doesn’t work for weight loss, UCSF study claims
The results of a long-term clinical trial have found carefully introducing gluten into an infant’s diet from the age of four months could reduce their risk of developing celiac disease. The trial only offers preliminary evidence of this association, and the researchers stress larger trials are necessary before any broader dietary recommendations are suggested.

A new study, from a team of Australian and Icelandic scientists, is offering some of the strongest evidence to date linking Alzheimer’s disease and sleep apnea. The research, based on studying autopsied brain tissue, shows how the toxic protein aggregations commonly associated with Alzheimer’s seem to start and spread in the same way in the brains of patients with sleep apnea.
