The Current State and Future Trajectory of Deep Brain Stimulation Technology

The first part(a) talks bout different ways electrodes are set up for deep brain stimulation (DBS). There are dark grey areas on the electrodes that can send electric signals. These electrodes can be designed with different spaces between them and different numbers and shapes. If the spaces between them are bigger, they can...

Unveiling the Carnivorous Side of Fungi: Arthrobotrys Oligospora’s Predatory Lifestyle

Radiant Snares of the Predatory Fungus Arthrobotrys Oligospora. Credit: Hung-Che Lin CC-BY 4.0 Think fungi can't be carnivorous? Think again. Arthrobotrys oligospora, a worm-eating species of fungus discovered in 1850, has proven capable of sensing, trapping, and consuming small animals, shedding light on the molecular changes facilitating predatory behavior. Worms on the Menu While A. oligospora isn't the...

Scientists Aid in Uncovering the Neural Mechanisms of Vision

Credit: Pixaobay When confronted with images that deviate from anticipated patterns, such as encountering a "do not enter" sign instead of the expected stop sign, how does the brain respond and adapt in contrast to exposure to images that align with predictions? A team, including researchers from York University, embarked on a quest to address a...

Scientists Developed a Protein to Boost Memory

Credit: Depositphotos Neuroscientists from the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery at the Catholic University in Rome, along with the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS, have genetically altered the brain-active molecule LIMK1, crucial for memory. They introduced a "molecular switch" activated by the drug rapamycin, recognized for its various anti-aging effects on the brain. Joint research...

The experimental therapy has shown promising results in its initial human clinical trials conducted by researchers...

Futuristic Foldable Camper Turns Into a Robust Toyota Rooftop Shelter

In contrast to most other toppers, the Hardsider is a two-piece design so owners can remove the sleeper roof and use it as a bed rack Hardsider The rising trend of hard-sided pop-up pickup campers and camping toppers in the early 2020s is evident through new launches such as Oru Designs Bruin, Cube Series QB, and...

Electric Trucks Set to Outpace Hydrogen Rivals

https://scx1.b-cdn.net/csz/news/800a/2023/mercedes-benz-trucks-e.jpg While hydrogen-fueled large trucks were initially envisioned as the future of environmentally friendly road transport, they might soon find themselves confined to niche markets in Europe, overshadowed by electric trucks. In the outskirts of Trondheim, western Norway, food wholesaler Asko has been conducting trials since 2020 with four hydrogen fuel cell trucks provided by Swedish...

The Initial Chimeric Monkey has Surfaced, Displaying Dual Sets of DNA

Images show the green fluorescence signals in different body parts of the three-day-old chimeric monkeyCao et al/Cell/(CC By SA) In a scenario reminiscent of the initial scenes in a science fiction horror movie, scientists have injected stem cells from a seven-day-old monkey embryo into an unrelated four-to-five-day embryo of the same species. This combined embryo...
