A fundamental goal of cognitive neuroscience is to understand how information is encoded and the mechanisms that improve encoding efficiency in the brain. Regulating the response covariability in the neuron population could significantly improve encoding efficiency.
Currently, researchers from different institutions in the world are testing a drug against obesity and diabetes, and now a Danish led research team reports that the same substance has had a beneficial effect on mice with experimental lung cancer.
When your doctor listens to your heart through a stethoscope they’re listening to the distinctive lub-dub sound made by the heart’s valves as they open and close, and straining to detect the subtle squelches and murmurs made when valves leak, stick, or slip out of place.
In 2023, life expectancy in Korea will be 83.6 years, the third highest among OECD countries, and it is steadily increasing every year. As the proportion of the elderly population increases, the social cost of treating various geriatric diseases is also increasing rapidly, and there is a growing interest in early diagnosis of diseases.
In-situ dual-modal detection of electrophysiology and blood oxygen during muscle–vascular activity requires an integrated monitoring system comprising a transparent electrode for electrophysiology detection directly adhered to skin and a near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRs) layer for blood oxygen detection.
As the intensity of wildfires increase across North America—so do their impacts on our health. Exposure to high levels of smoke can trigger asthma and heart attacks in the short-term, then elevate COPD or take years off one’s life expectancy with long-term exposure.
A group of ribosomal protein genes connect animal models of depression to human patients with major depressive disorder. In order to research depression treatments, scientists use a mouse model, inducing a state with similarities to depression though exposure to variable, unpredictable, and uncontrolled stressors over days or weeks. But is this state molecularly akin to what humans with major depressive disorder experience?
A research team has discovered a microbial metabolite that destroys dopamine-producing neurons. Further experiments showed that Parkinson-like symptoms occur as a result.
US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) researchers in Atlanta have examined the association between depressive symptoms and mortality in a large, diverse, nationally representative sample of US adults.
