“I am so secure about Neuralink that I can implant it in my kids”. Elon Musk Technology has come way too far, isn't it? Today we more often hear about a Neuralink´s coin size device capable of making humans control several devices just with their thought. Well, this has also implications for important fields such...
Credit: Pixaobay The possibility exists that swine flu could undergo evolution and resurface in humans. However, by implementing measures to control its transmission among individuals in close contact with pigs, we can effectively avert such a scenario. The first instance of swine flu (H1N1pdm09) in humans was documented in 2009, marking 14 years since its initial...

Credit: Pixaobay What occurs in the brain during tickling? Back in 1999, researchers discovered that rats emit vocalizations similar to humans when tickled. The question arises: do they laugh or react aggressively due to irritation? At the neurobiological level, studies have successfully identified brain regions responsible for fear, reward, sensory processing, and cognition, but the understanding...
