Contradicting conventional thought, researchers find neurons associated with processing touch sensations do not simply respond to distinct types of touch. Instead, these neurons respond to many types of touch, and to var...

Artificial neural networks modeled on human brain connectivity can effectively perform complex cognitive tasks.

Regardless of symptom severity, otherwise healthy young people diagnosed with COVID-19 develop abnormalities with the system that governs the fight-or-flight response in the sympathetic nervous system.

The stronger the connection between the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and temporal-parietal junction, the less likely people are to punish others for selfish deeds.

A potential new treatment for mast cell cancers reduces the number of mast cells by 'mutating' the messenger RNA (mRNA) before it can deliver instructions for manufacturing the gene responsible for cell proliferation. Th...

Marburg, a virus similar to Ebola that causes a deadly haemorrhagic fever, has been detected in Guinea. Local health authorities are working with the World Health Organization to contain the spread

Adipocytes, or beige fat cells, are indispensable to the anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects of subcutaneous fat, researchers say.

Here's what immunodeficiency means.

Mainly associated with COVID infection in the elderly, researchers report a young, otherwise healthy woman was diagnosed with COVID-19 CNS vasculitis following infection.

Researchers have found that people recovering from COVID-19 and those vaccinated against the causative virus, SARS-CoV-2, produce identical clones, or groups, of antibody-producing white blood cells.

Researchers have identified two sugar-binding proteins that impede the viral entry of circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants. The team may have found the 'Achilles' heel' of the virus, with potential for pan-variant therapeutic...

A team has succeeded in computing how atomic nuclei of the Calcium element behave in collisions with electrons. Results agree very well with available experimental data. For the first time, a calculation based on a funda...

Study highlights how the enteric nervous system acts similarly to neural networks in the brain and spinal cord.

Researchers have developed a platform which can quickly identify common mutations on the SARS-CoV-2 virus that allow it to escape antibodies and infect cells, which could inform the development of more effective booster ...

Healthy skin has a bacterial shield to protect against germs: the microbiome. This complex assembly of microorganisms was previously believed to be difficult to decipher. A team of researchers has now succeeded in using ...

Imagine if you could attach something to your skin without needing glue. A biosensor, a watch, a communications device, a fashion accessory -- the possibilities are endless. Thanks to a discovery, that time could be clos...

Apple will inspect photos uploaded to the cloud by iPhones in the US to detect images of child sexual abuse - a move praised by child welfare charities but condemned by privacy campaigners

A record-breaking female Nathusius' pipistrelle bat traveled more than 1,200 miles from London to Russia, where it was recently killed by a local cat.

Droplet manipulation is kindling great interest in several fields, including technological applications and basic studies in dynamic systems. The Lab-on-a-chip and microfluidics community is particularly interested in th...

Phosphate glasses are expected to have applications in a variety of fields. To improve their functionality, it is necessary to determine the association between their structure and ion diffusion characteristics. Recently...

Scientists have confirmed that an autumn 'booster' dose of a COVID-19 vaccine will be an effective way to protect people from existing, and potentially future, variants of concern.

Researchers have analyzed the mummified bodies of two extinct Ice Age lion cubs in unprecedented detail.
