Assistance during first years of biology major leads to higher retention of first-gen students Posted: 05 Dec 2019 12:53 PM PST Assistance during the first years of a biology major leads to higher retention of first-generation students. |
Open source EEG visualization tool Posted: 05 Dec 2019 12:53 PM PST Researchers have developed a free open source computer program that can be used to create visual and quantitative representations of brain electrical activity in laboratory animals in hopes of developing countermeasures for opioid use disorder. |
Behavioral interventions may be as effective at reducing food intake as anorectic drugs Posted: 05 Dec 2019 11:18 AM PST Simulations predict that behavioral interventions such as imposing strict no-food restrictions after meals can be as effective as strong anorectic drugs in reducing food intake in rodents, according to a study. |
Nervous system doesn't merely detect Salmonella, it defends the body against it Posted: 05 Dec 2019 11:17 AM PST Study in mice shows the nervous system not only detects the presence of Salmonella in the gut but actively stops the organism from infecting the body. |
Clinical study finds eating within 10-hour window may help stave off diabetes, heart disease Posted: 05 Dec 2019 11:17 AM PST Researchers have found that a 10-hour time-restricted eating intervention, when combined with traditional medications, resulted in weight loss, reduced abdominal fat, lower blood pressure and cholesterol for participants. The pilot study could lead to a new treatment option for metabolic syndrome patients who are at risk for developing life-altering and costly medical conditions such as diabetes. |
Between arousal and inhibition Posted: 05 Dec 2019 08:32 AM PST Why nerve cells in the brain process information differently. |
By imaging the brain, scientists can predict a person's aptitude for cognitive training Posted: 04 Dec 2019 11:57 AM PST People with specific brain attributes are more likely than others to benefit from targeted cognitive interventions designed to enhance fluid intelligence, scientists report in a new study. Fluid intelligence is a measure of one's ability to adapt to new situations and solve never-before-seen problems. |
Controlling attention with brain waves Posted: 04 Dec 2019 11:57 AM PST Having trouble paying attention? Neuroscientists may have a solution for you: Turn down your alpha brain waves. In a new study, the researchers found that people can enhance their attention by controlling their own alpha brain waves based on neurofeedback they receive as they perform a particular task. |
Scientists push bioprinting capability forward Posted: 04 Dec 2019 11:48 AM PST Scientists are reporting using bioprinting to print a tracheal tissue construct comprising of multiple different functional materials. They printed different designs of smooth muscle and cartilage regions in artificial tracheal substitutes showing similar mechanical properties to human tracheal tissue. |
Permanent hair dye and straighteners may increase breast cancer risk Posted: 04 Dec 2019 06:08 AM PST Scientists found that women who use permanent hair dye and chemical hair straighteners have a higher risk of developing breast cancer than women who don't use these products. The study suggests that breast cancer risk increased with more frequent use of these chemical hair products. |
Study finds key brain region smaller in birth control pill users Posted: 04 Dec 2019 06:08 AM PST Researchers studying the brain found that women taking oral contraceptives, commonly known as birth control pills, had significantly smaller hypothalamus volume, compared to women not taking the pill, according to a new study. |
Respiration key to increase oxygen in the brain Posted: 04 Dec 2019 06:08 AM PST Contrary to accepted knowledge, blood can bring more oxygen to mice brains when they exercise because the increased respiration packs more oxygen into the hemoglobin, according to an international team of researchers who believe that this holds true for all mammals. |
