According to the World Health Organization, air pollution causes more than 4 million premature deaths each year. Minor exhaust gases, microscopic dust particles and other pollutants, which are especially known for large megacities, undoubtedly affect our health. But how do they affect the brain? More recently, a group of scientists from the University of Maryland […]
Our memory is extremely interesting from a medical and physiological point of view. On the one hand, doctors are aware of the principles of their work. On the other hand, if you try to "dig deeper," the specific mechanisms of how certain processes work are still a mystery. Recently, however, a mystery has become less […]
Proteins are extremely important organic compounds that regulate almost all the processes that take place in our body. Despite the fact that quite a bit is known about these compounds, the scientists continue to discover new properties and possibilities of proteins. For example, not long ago, a research team at the University of California at […]
Today we hear increasingly from the different successes of different systems of artificial intelligence. And although the neural networks that are being developed are becoming better and more intelligent day by day, they are still far from work that resembles that of our brains. And here's not even that we do not have enough hardware […]
A research team from South Korea and the US has developed a wireless implant that affects certain areas of the brain. This would not be surprising since there are many different devices of a similar type for a long time. In this case, however, the following is of interest: The new device is not only […]
American scientists from the University of Miami have found an association between overweight in old age and an increased risk of accelerated reduction in the thickness (thinning) of the cerebral cortex. According to the study, these factors can accelerate the aging of the brain by at least 10 years. Researchers say overweight people over the […]
One of the most annoying insects in the world are mosquitoes, of course. Scientists currently know about 3,600 species, of which about 100 live in Russia. With their bites, they can not only transform the evening outdoor recreation into hell, but also infect a person with dangerous diseases. Most commonly, these insects spread yellow fever […]
It is unlikely that there is one person on this planet who has not encountered such a phenomenon as stress at least once in his life. In addition, almost every one of us regularly experiences stress in one form or another. However, few have thought about how exactly stress affects our entire body. Researchers from […]
The mammalian brain (including ours with you) stores and remembers a great deal of information based on our decisions and interactions with the outside world. This allows us to adapt and gain experience in a specific area of our lives. But how exactly does that happen? And how this "life experience" accumulates. It seems that […]
