Ever since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry left the royal family in 2020, they've been forging their own paths. Meghan, in particular, has been working on her own business plans in the United States. As we move into 2025, it seems Meghan has a clear goal in mind: to make a name for herself, independe
Ever wondered how autism affects the brain differently in boys and girls? Let's dig into a study that used a fancy tool called FOCA (FOur-dimensional Consistency of local neural Activities) to check out the brain activity of 64 boys and 64 girls with autism, plus the same number of boys and girls wi
A group of scientists have discovered something interesting about our brains. They found that our brains age the most at three specific ages: 57, 70, and 78. This means that our minds might start to slow down a bit more during these years. The team looked at over 10, 000 adults' brain scans and chec
Scientists are exploring new ways to keep our food fresh. One interesting discovery is using proteins from quinoa that can fight off bacteria. These proteins, called antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), were created by mixing different bacteria together. Out of all these AMPs, one called F1 was the supers
You probably know that smoking isn't great for your lungs. But did you know it might also be hiding some issues in your brain? Specifically, we're talking about unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) – those are weak spots in your brain's blood vessels. Usually, these aneurysms don't cause any pro
Elsa Pataky recently shared a heartwarming photo of her family celebrating Christmas. The image, posted on Instagram, showed Chris Hemsworth and their three kids all wearing matching pajamas. The couple, along with their twin sons Tristan and Sasha, 10, and daughter India, 12, were gathered around t
Let's talk about a cool new way doctors are treating severe cases of a condition called idiopathic epiretinal membranes (iERM). This happens when a thin layer of tissue grows on the surface of the eye's retina, and in severe cases, it can have extra layers in the center of the eye. Now, the interes
Imagine having trouble seeing out of one eye suddenly. You might think it's just a temporary thing, but doctors now suggest that a serious condition could be hidden behind it. This condition is called acute retinal artery ischemia. It's when the blood supply to the eye gets cut off, leading to visio
Imagine tiny, self-organizing brain models grown from stem cells. These are brain organoids, one of the 21st century's biggest scientific advancements. They mimic the structure and function of human brains. But as they get more complex, they raise new legal questions. What if they become conscious o
Did you know that your brain can change and adapt over time? This is called neural plasticity. Both your experiences and treatments like therapy can influence it. Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) uses things like magnetic fields to affect specific brain areas. This can improve mood or reduce anx
