Researchers have developed a remote, non-invasive method of selectively controlling neurons in the brain using magnetic fields. The technique opens the door to a greater understanding of brain function and, potentially, new treatments for disorders.Con… Continue reading Mind control magnets modify appetite and social behavior
Researchers have discovered the mechanism by which a cluster of astrocytes, specialized brain cells, in the hypothalamus cause obesity in mice. Their study also identified a drug that inhibited the process, leading to weight loss without compromising a… Continue reading Obesity discovery: Weight loss without reducing appetite & food intake
Ideally, the body is protected from damaging radiation before it reaches us, by shielding materials or clothing. But now, researchers in South Korea have developed a new type of drug that could prevent some of the tissue damage radiation causes, which … Continue reading Novel nanocrystal treatments could protect cells from radiation damage
The melting of Antarctic ice sheets is one of the most visceral consequences of climate change, but the full extent of their impact on the cycle remains mostly unknown. Now, researchers from the US and South Korea have run climate simulations… Continue reading Melting icebergs could play significant role in slowing down warming
