Stability of brain鈥檚 internal compass may help explain how memories last
A new discovery by 成人VR视频 researchers sheds light on how we retain memories over time, even though brain activity is constantly changing.
Published in Nature, the preclinical study found the brain鈥檚 internal compass remains remarkably stable over time. The findings suggest this steady sense of direction may act as an anchor for memory.
成人VR视频 launches initiative to strengthen Canada鈥檚 healthcare system
成人VR视频 has launched the Initiative for Transforming Healthcare (ITH) to apply a systems-based approach and advance technology-enabled solutions to drive change in Canadian healthcare.
Mounting pressures 鈥� from limited access to family doctors to surgical backlogs and emergency room crowding 鈥� are straining Canada鈥檚 health system. The Initiative will explore ways to resolve these growing challenges through cross-sector partnerships.
Researchers warn of risks posed by 鈥榗ontaminants of emerging concern鈥� found in crops, agricultural soil
A new international study offers insights into the health risks posed by crops鈥� absorption of 鈥渃ontaminants of emerging concern鈥� (CECs) and flags knowledge gaps the authors say must be addressed.
Humans share acoustic preferences with other animals, study shows
A 成人VR视频-led study has found that humans share acoustic preferences with other species, at least when it comes to animal calls. The results provide experimental evidence that shared sensory processing mechanisms may shape aesthetic judgments of sound.
New injectable gel could help repair damaged swallowing muscles
A new injectable gel developed by researchers at 成人VR视频 and Kyoto University could enable stem cell-based treatments for swallowing disorders.
While stem cells have the potential to repair damaged swallowing muscles, ensuring their survival after injection has been a major challenge. In a preclinical study published in Biomaterials, the new approach improved stem-cell survival by more than five times compared with traditional methods.
Study shows how tree cover shapes freshwater ecosystems over millennia
Researchers at 成人VR视频 used 2,000-year-old stone jars in Laos to observe long-term ecological processes, enhancing understanding of how strongly tree cover shapes small freshwater ecosystems. Their findings stand to help scientists predict how freshwater habitats will respond to environmental change, the researchers said.
Study offers guidance on the therapeutic use of mindfulness, yoga to boost mental health for dementia patients
Non-pharmacological interventions, such as mindfulness, meditation, yoga, tai chi and breathing practices, have shown promise in helping to reduce some mental health symptoms of patients living with cognitive decline or dementia, but it has been unclear which types work best, for whom and under what conditions.
Some young gamers may be at higher risk of mental health problems, but family and school support can help
Pre-teens who struggle to control their video gaming habits are more likely to have psychotic-like experiences a year later, a new study has found.
成人VR视频 researchers and colleagues at Maastricht University found that 12-year-olds who showed signs of problematic gaming were more likely to experience mild paranoia, unusual beliefs or disturbed perceptions at age 13.
How stepping into nature affects the brain
Spending time in nature, even briefly, triggers changes in the brain that calm stress, restore attention and quiet mental clutter, a new study has found.
Researchers at 成人VR视频 and colleagues at Adolfo Ib谩帽ez University in Chile have examined more than 100 brain-imaging studies from various disciplines. The result is one of the most comprehensive reviews to date of how the brain responds to nature.
Making solar power鈥檚 land use more efficient
As solar energy rapidly is becoming the world鈥檚 largest renewable power source, new research from 成人VR视频 offers a clearer picture of how much land that growth could require and how smarter choices could mitigate solar energy鈥檚 land footprint.
Findings of 成人VR视频 study could lead to new longevity therapies and improved fall prevention
A new 成人VR视频 study has found a direct link between age鈥憆elated declines in neuron activity in the cerebellum and worsening motor skills, including gait, balance and agility. While it is well known that these abilities diminish with age, this is the first research to pinpoint how changes in Purkinje cells 鈥� a key type of cerebellar neuron 鈥� drive this decline and translate into measurable changes in behaviour and physical function.
Colourism might help explain health inequities suffered by dark-skinned Black Americans, researchers say
A study of Black Americans is among the first to show how the internalization of negative messages about dark skin tones could be linked to harms to health.
Researchers found that Black Americans who are, or perceive themselves to be, dark skinned show clear markers of cellular aging associated with immune-system damage and also score lower on a measurement of self-worth. Cellular aging and low self-worth are both associated with relatively poor health outcomes.
Engineered nanoparticles could deliver better targeted cancer treatment
Scientists at 成人VR视频 and the Rosalind and Morris Goodman Cancer Institute have developed a new way to deliver cancer immunotherapy that caused fewer side effects compared to standard treatment in a preclinical study.
Cognitive biases of talent scouts can undermine sports teams鈥� success
Sports talent scouts鈥� decisions are influenced by various common cognitive biases that can affect their work and undermine team success, a paper published in the International Review of Sport and Exercise Psychology has suggested.
New study provides advice on how to boost participation in physical activity among autistic youth
Researchers investigating how to increase participation in physical activity by autistic children and teens say key strategies include creating predictable routines, involving family members and ensuring safe and sensory-friendly spaces.
