Microplastics Found in Human Organs, Even Brain, Study Says

Healthcare, Medicine, Neuroscience, Science /

According to a fresh investigation, microplastics could be as prevalent inside the body as they are in the environment.In the study, scientists exposed mice to varying amounts of microplastics through drinking water and observed how these particles affected their organs and behavior. Microplastics are tiny plastic pieces, less than 5 mm long, originating from larger […]

Scientists Discovered and Deactivated a Brain Fear Switch

Medicine, Neuroscience, Science /

The sensation of hairs standing on end, the cold sensation in the stomach, the rapid heartbeat triggered by a sudden movement in the shadows—these experiences evoke fear. Fear, while capable of causing distress and discomfort, can also be oddly exhilarating. However, it serves a crucial purpose as an instinctual reaction to danger, potentially enhancing our

Sleep Boosts Memory for Complex Events

Neuroscience, Science /

Sleep aids in solidifying our memory of complex associations, thereby facilitating the recollection of entire event sequences. For a while, researchers have been aware that sleep plays a role in consolidating our memories of facts and episodic events. However, previous research has primarily focused on straightforward associations, such as those formed when learning new vocabulary.

Viagra use Tied to 18% Lower Alzheimer’s Risk in Men

Healthcare, Neuroscience, Science /

Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors like Viagra are primarily recognized for their efficacy in treating erectile dysfunction. However, a study involving close to 270,000 men has contributed to the increasing evidence suggesting that these medications could also reduce the likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers from University College London (UCL) examined 269,725 male individuals in the
