New work led by Stanford University scientists has revealed killer immune cells have been found to collect in parts of the brain where new nerve cells are generated. This damaging proliferation seems to naturally increase as a brain ages and … Continue reading Renegade immune cells found to raid aging brains and choke new neuron generation
Scientists have discovered a new autoimmune disease that is specifically triggered by testicular cancer. Utilizing a newly developed diagnostic tool, the research revealed how the cancer can cause the immune system to target the brain, bringi… Continue reading Discovery of new autoimmune disease triggered by testicular cancer
This year’s CBRE Urban Photographer of the Year competition asked photographers to envision life in a city of the future. Spanish photographer Alfonso Béjar took out the grand prize with a glorious shot of Valencia’s futurist City of Arts and… Continue reading Visions of a future city in the 2019 Urban Photography Awards
The over-prescription of antibiotics is a major problem in the world today, leading to the dramatic rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. New research led by scientists from the Francis Crick Institute in London is suggesting not only are an… Continue reading How antibiotics can make flu infections worse by wiping out important gut bacteria
It is certainly no newsflash to suggest exercise is beneficial for brain health, but exactly how physical activity confers cognitive enhancements is still not entirely clear. Compelling new research from Oregon Health & Science University… Continue reading Exercising before study may enhance learning and stimulate new neural connections
In a first-of-its-kind human trial, a team of researchers administered a specific strain of gut bacteria to overweight and obese volunteers to evaluate its benefits for cardiometabolic health. The study intriguingly discovered a pasteurized f… Continue reading Human study homes in on a specific gut bacteria to provide cardiometabolic benefits
A compelling new study has revealed how a mammalian brain can produce an incredibly powerful hallucinogen called DMT. The research shows the psychedelic is endogenously produced in a number of brain regions, including the visual cortex, and s… Continue reading New insights into how a mammalian brain naturally produces psychedelic DMT
A landmark study from neurologists at Columbia University has described a new method to detect signs of consciousness in unresponsive brain-injured patients using a simple EEG scan. The research also suggests the EEG data can predict which pa… Continue reading EEG scan detects hidden consciousness in unresponsive brain injury patients
For over half a century the field of social psychology has been dominated by the idea of the bystander effect. This phenomenon suggests when scenes of aggression or violence unfold in public spaces individuals not involved are unlikely to off… Continue reading Disproving the bystander effect: CCTV study finds people intervene in conflict more than expected
An important and rigorous new animal study led by scientists at Johns Hopkins University has demonstrated how the misfolded proteins thought to cause Parkinson’s disease may originate in the gut, and travel up to the brain via the vagus nerve. This research builds on a compelling body of evidence pointing to a gut-brain connection in the disease and hints at possible new treatment pathways.
