Summary: Researchers have developed a new approach to muscle control using light instead of electricity. This optogenetic technique enables more precise muscle control and significantly reduces fatigue in mice. Although…
Summary: A new study finds that any form of parental distraction, whether from screens or non-digital activities, negatively affects parent-child interaction. Both digital and non-digital distractions reduce parental sensitivity and…
Summary: Researchers have identified a key signaling pathway, PI3K-beta, responsible for chemotherapy resistance in glioblastoma. Blocking this pathway makes tumor cells more sensitive to temozolomide, a standard chemotherapy drug. This…
Summary: A new study finds that Eurasian jays exhibit episodic memory, a type of memory previously thought to be unique to humans. The birds were able to recall random details…
Summary: Researchers have identified the specific brain circuits in fruit flies responsible for color perception. These neurons in the optic lobe respond selectively to different hues, including those perceived as…
Summary: A new study examines how gossip affects cooperation and behavior. Researchers have found that gossip helps maintain social order by spreading reputational information, which encourages cooperative behavior.Their mathematical model…
Summary: Researchers have discovered that a hormone-producing cell in the adrenal glands may explain why Oldfield mice are monogamous, while their close relatives are promiscuous. This hormone, 20⍺-OHP, increases nurturing…
Summary: A new study has found that some people lack an inner voice called 'anendophasia', which affects their verbal memory and rhyme recognition. Participants without an inner voice struggled more…
Summary: A new study explores the complex moral landscape of revenge, revealing that people's reactions to revenge vary greatly depending on the emotions displayed by the avenger. Conducted in four…
Summary: Researchers have introduced a new bioluminescence detection technique to image deep brain structures, bypassing the challenge of light scattering. This method involves engineering the brain's blood vessels to dilate…
