Rabbit Hole

Protons are far from simple particles — they are swirling cauldrons of quarks, gluons, and quantum entanglement. Scientists have used this entanglement to develop a universal model explaining how particles emerge from high-energy collisions. Their predictions align with past experimental data, an

Scientists observe decreased motor function in rodents exposed to microplastics

Devices across the world are being abused

The latent circuit model identifies low-dimensional mechanisms of task execution from heterogenous neural responses. This approach reveals a latent inhibitory mechanism for context-dependent decisions in neural network models and the prefrontal cortex.

Dementia is a syndrome associated with an ongoing decline of the brain - and there are a number of early signs to look out for, including a peculiar fridge habit

Researchers at Stony Brook University used genetic manipulation in a laboratory brain model to demonstrate that neurosteroids, signals involved in mood regulation and stress, can reduce the sensitivity and preference for sweet tastes when elevated within the gustatory cortex—a region in the brain most involved with taste. Their findings are published in Current Biology.
