Our brains can “flicker” off for a split second during a boring task caused by sleep-like brain activity occurring while we are awake. Adults with ADHD experience them much more frequently, and may be behind inconsistent attention, slower reaction times, and chronic sleepiness associated with ADHD.
The largest-ever review of the safety and efficacy of cannabinoids across a range of mental health conditions — found no evidence that medicinal cannabis is effective in treating anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Study suggests anxiety, insomnia and ADHD may share the same underlying brain state
New research suggests people in polyamorous relationships develop higher levels of communication and trust than monogamous couples, primarily because they are forced to navigate more \"complex\" relationship challenges
A new study estimates the Israel–Gaza war has generated ~33 million metric tons of CO2e—equivalent to the annual emissions of 7.6 million cars. Researchers highlight that military emissions are largely excluded from global climate reporting, leaving a massive \"invisible\" carbon footprint.
Psychologists reveal a key trigger behind narcissists’ passive-aggressive behavior. Study reveals that these individuals tend to retaliate against social exclusion by indirectly provoking criticism of their peers.
Suicide risk in older adults with autistic traits is linked to depression and isolation more than autism itself. Findings provide evidence that targeted mental health support and fostering social connections could help protect this vulnerable population.
A study of two surface samples from the asteroid Ryugu reveals the presence of all five nucleobases that constitute DNA and RNA, strongly reinforcing the hypothesis that carbonaceous asteroids delivered essential prebiotic chemicals to early Earth.
Climate change could drive millions into physical inactivity by 2050 as rising heat makes outdoor exercise unsafe. New modelling in The Lancet Global Health links this shift to 500,000+ annual premature deaths and billions in lost productivity, hit hardest in low-to-middle income countries.
\"Scientists just discovered that a high fat diet can cause gut bacteria to enter the brain\".Live bacteria from the digestive system can travel directly into the brain when the intestinal barrier is weakened.
\"Turning Plastic Bottles into Parkinson’s Medication\".By using engineered E. coli bacteria, the team successfully converted polyethylene terephthalate (PET) the plastic used in common drink bottles into a high-value therapeutic.
Women are more likely to survive cancer than men (21% lower risk of death) but face a higher risk of serious and adverse side effects from treatment (12% higher risk of severe toxicities)
A global analysis of 2,300 seawater samples reveals that human-made chemicals now make up a significant portion of coastal organic matter. Industrial compounds—not just plastics—account for up to 20% of the chemical signature in coastal areas and over 50% near some river mouths.
A common antidepressant shows promise for treating post-orgasmic illness syndrome. Findings offer a potential therapeutic option for an illness that currently has no standard treatment.
Astronomers have for the first time seen the birth of a magnetar — a highly magnetized, spinning neutron star — and confirmed that it’s the power source behind some of the brightest exploding stars in the cosmos.
Youth suicide and self-harm has increased in wealthy nations since 2000, especially in girls. While the causes of this rise remain unclear, several factors may contribute, including the influence of social media, marked changes in social connectedness of young people, and global events.
A new clinical trial, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, has found that monthly injectable HIV treatment works better than daily pills for people living with HIV who have difficulty consistently taking oral medication.
Researchers grow immune cells with more targeted cancer-fighting abilities
Bird flu can already get inside human cells, but hasn’t sparked a pandemic. The reason lies in an immune-sensing system that originally evolved to detect foreign DNA of the sort found in DNA viruses. A recent study finds that it also acts as a barrier against avian flu.
Smartwatch data can be used to assess early diabetes risk | Hidden in the patterns of heart rate, sleep and daily activity captured by wearables are subtle clues that, when combined with routine health data and analyzed with artificial intelligence, can reveal insulin resistance
Color Cues Could Help Reduce Sodium Without Sacrificing Flavor - researchers found that a darker low-sodeium soy sauce was perceived to taste better than a lighter color soy sauce with the same sodium content.
Scientists find brain support cells play a role in fear memory.
Yaks may hint at a way to treat brain diseases like \"Multiple Sclerosis\", a disease that affects your brain and spinal cord.Animals that live at high altitudes, such as yaks have a genetic mutation that may suggest new ways to treat brain diseases like Multiple Sclerosis.
Researchers have discovered how a mysterious protein called TMEM16A interacts with another chemical inside the cell to open small gaps in the wall, allowing chloride ions into and out of the cell. If TMEM16A malfunctions, that could lead to hypertension, asthma, or even cystic fibrosis.
