A study Confirms that ADHD Affects Overall Brain Connectivity

Assessing connectivity across the entire brain could help identify likely ADHD developmentDepositphotos Analyzing neuroimaging data from almost 12,000 participants, researchers have verified the necessity of adopting a comprehensive approach encompassing the entire brain for the diagnosis, research, and treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Earlier research has concentrated on specific brain regions or networks. However, scientists...

How Waves and Mixing Impact Coastal Upwelling Systems

Credit: Pixaobay Coastal upwelling regions along the eastern boundaries of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are recognized as highly productive and biodiverse areas in the world's oceans. The movement of near-surface water away from the coast, driven by equatorward winds, leads to the upwelling of cold, nutrient-rich water from the depths. This process stimulates the...

The Moon Lander from Japan Experiences a Revival

SLIM's January 20 touchdown made Japan only the fifth nation to achieve a "soft landing" on the Moon after the United States, the Soviet Union, China and India. On Monday, the Japanese space agency announced that the moon lander has been revived, allowing it to continue its mission of exploring the lunar surface despite encountering...

The Camera Precisely Captures the Animal Perspective with 99% Accuracy

Now you see it: Like most animals, owl vision has evolved for survival and they perceive the world around them very differently to how humans do. Credit: Pixaobay It's simple to overlook that the majority of animals perceive the world differently from humans. In reality, due to their ability to see infrared and ultraviolet light,...
