Learning by doing
How the brain’s motor system can support vocabulary learning. The motor cortex is a brain region known to control the body’s voluntary movements. However, the team of neuroscientists have now…
Study of extra COVID-19 vaccine dose in people with autoimmune disease
The National Institutes of Health has begun a clinical trial to assess the antibody response to an extra dose of an authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccine in people with autoimmune…
Scientists develop brain organoids with complex neural activity
UCLA study suggests researchers could analyze neurological disorders in a stem cell–derived model. Researchers at the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA have developed…
The ‘phytoplankton factory’ — from nutrients to algae growth
International study provides new insights into the basis of the marine ecosystem. All life starts at a small scale, also in the ocean. Microscopic organisms, phytoplankton, form an important basis…
Trains in the brain
Scientists uncover switching system used in information processing and memory. Findings Reveal Coordination Used to Avoid Neurological Clashes. A team of scientists has uncovered a system in the brain used…
Seeing better by looking away
We fixate slightly away from the retinal optimum. When we fixate an object, its image does not appear at the place where photoreceptors are packed most densely. Instead, its position…
A Food Chain in the Dark
International Study… The discovery is groundbreaking: Previously unknown viruses live in the subsurface of our planet; they infect unicellular microorganisms, the so-called Altiarchaea. The remarkable thing: They start the food…
