Sleep is crucial for memory formation, while sleep deprivation severely disrupts this process. Neurons in the hippocampus reactivating during sleep help to consolidate memories, but this reactivation is impaired without ...

Researchers developed a technology pipeline to image entire human brain hemispheres at high resolution. This breakthrough allows for detailed analysis of brain structures, offering insights into diseases like Alzheimer's...

A new study identifies the Gstt1 gene as crucial for metastatic cancer cell growth. Researchers found that silencing Gstt1 in metastatic cells prevents their spread. This gene helps cancer cells modify their environment,...

Facial expressions influence memory color effect, with angry and fearful faces more strongly affected than neutral faces. Participants perceived achromatic angry and fearful faces as red-yellow, indicating that expressio...

It’s a year of elections, and the internet is already rife with AI-generated political content. An AI robocaller mimicking Joe Biden made the rounds in the New Hampshire primaries; voters in India have been inundated w...

A new study reveals that brain topological resilience (BTR) negatively correlates with age and vascular risk factors while positively correlating with cognitive function. Researchers analyzed data from two multi-ethnic c...

A new study reveals that a balanced ratio of neural excitation (E) and inhibition (I) is crucial for brain development and cognitive performance. Researchers found that lower E/I ratios in children correlate with better ...

There's been some reports of Guillain-Barré syndrome in older adults who got the vaccines. But health officials still recommend that this population get the shots, in consultation with their doctors.

In a study published in Nature Communications, collaborating physicists from Singapore and the UK have reported an optical analog of the Kármán vortex street (KVS). This optical KVS pulse reveals fascinating parallels ...

A three-layered textile made from fabric, plastic and silver nanowires can keep a person several degrees cooler than silk or other cooling materials

Gene therapies for cystic fibrosis have previously struggled to reach the faulty lung cells, but a new approach has succeeded in achieving long-lasting modifications in mice

Minuscule black holes that formed right after the big bang could have had a strange property called colour charge, and spotting them could help unravel the mystery of dark matter

The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a supernova dating to just 1.8 billion years after the Big Bang, as well as 80 others in the early universe. The ancient explosions could help scientists figure out the mysterie...

Archaeologists discovered the stone tablet at a Tartessian site in southwestern Spain.

In a 9-0 ruling, the court determined that an anti-abortion collective didn't have legal standing to raise the case against mifepristone to the Supreme Court.

Although very rare, past reports show some cancer patients may develop secondary cancers following lifesaving CAR T-cell therapy.

Data assimilation is a mathematical discipline that integrates observed data and numerical models to improve the interpretation and prediction of dynamical systems. It is a crucial component of Earth sciences, particular...

Research teams led by Prof. Zeng Changgan and Zhang Hui from the Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the Microscale, the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Scien...

Taking a combination of short and long strides as you walk increases the amount of energy used by the body

Spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC), as a source of entangled photons, is of great interest for quantum physics and quantum technology, but so far it could be only implemented in solids.

An international team of scientists has developed a novel way to experimentally produce plasma 'fireballs' on Earth.
