Researchers made a pivotal discovery about the cerebellum's role in social recognition memory, potentially revolutionizing treatment for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. By modulating cerebellar activity in p...

For the fourth time in two years, a group of unusually brazen orcas in southwestern Europe have sunk a sailing boat after relentlessly attacking it for almost an hour on Halloween.

In a new study, researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara, (UCSB) have reported the discovery of a spin microemulsion in two-dimensional systems of spinor Bose-Einstein condensates, shedding light on a...

Researchers has found that elevated levels of NfL in the blood of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients could signal worsening disability within the next one to two years. This first-of-its-kind study pinpoints a crucial time...

A new mathematical model predicts that mammalian sperm cells have two distinct swimming modes. This prediction opens new questions about potential connections between sperm cells' motor activity and their transitions to ...

Information transfer in free space using ultraviolet, visible, or infrared waves has been gaining interest because of the availability of large bandwidth for high-data-rate communication. However, the presence of opaque ...

Redheads are said to experience pain differently than other people and require higher doses of pain medications, depending on the drug used. Why?

Emerging research underscores the profound connection between mental health and heart disease, with depression and anxiety hastening the onset of cardiovascular risk factors. Findings from two preliminary studies suggest...

Unlike most other animal groups that left the sea behind, crabs have done it many times throughout their evolutionary history - and some crab lineages have even reversed course back to the ocean

Researchers utilized AI to uncover a link between sleep and gastrointestinal health, and the challenging behaviors in individuals with profound autism, such as self-injury and aggression. The study, which offers new insi...

Scientists have uncovered a brain circuit in the subthalamic nucleus that causes discomfort when activated, shedding new light on the neural roots of aversion. This finding has significant implications, as it demonstrate...

Lettuce, cherry tomatoes and more are sprouting in space aboard China's Tiangong space station.

A strong El Niño in the Pacific Ocean is coinciding with a similarly strong climate pattern in the Indian Ocean, suggesting South-East Asia and Australia will soon experience heat, drought and wildfires
