Medical Xpress / Inhibitory neurons in the amygdala can flexibly shape emotional learning and memory
Neurons that specifically reduce and modulate electrical brain activity have a greater influence on emotional memories than previously thought. DZNE researchers came to this conclusion based on studies in mice. A team led ...
Phys.org / Lake heat waves are more intense, longer-lasting than atmospheric ones, new study reveals
Freshwater lakes are critical ecosystems that regulate regional climates, support biodiversity, and provide essential resources for human societies. However, as global warming accelerates, extreme heat waves are increasingly ...
Medical Xpress / Space-inspired tech uncovers hidden differences in autistic children's play
A pioneering interdisciplinary study has shown that how young children play a simple iPad game could support early identification of autism.
Tech Xplore / Robots combine AI learning and control theory to perform advanced movements
When it comes to training robots to perform agile, single-task motor skills, such as handstands or backflips, artificial intelligence methods can be very useful. But if you want to train your robot to perform multiple tasks—say, ...
Medical Xpress / Key biological marker into why young people self-harm uncovered
As many as one in six teenagers have self-harmed at some point in their lives. As well as being an indicator of emotional pain, self-harm is also the best-known predictor of death by suicide—yet researchers know little ...
Medical Xpress / Specific brain activity patterns predict greater control over drinking behavior, study finds
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is among the most widespread substance use disorders (SUDs) worldwide, characterized by an impaired ability to control the intake of alcohol. For many years, psychologists and psychiatrists have ...
Medical Xpress / How a gene shapes the architecture of the human brain
Researchers around the world are studying how the human brain achieves its extraordinary complexity. A team at the Central Institute of Mental Health in Mannheim and the German Primate Center—Leibniz Institute for Primate ...
Tech Xplore / Climate-friendly metals can come from deep-sea ores
The demand for metals will increase significantly in the coming years, primarily because the climate-friendly transformation of the economy is only possible through the electrification of industrial processes, transport and ...
Phys.org / Artificial membranes mimic life-like dynamics through catalytic chemical reactions
Using catalytic chemistry, researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have achieved dynamic control of artificial membranes, enabling life-like membrane behavior. The work is published in the Journal of the American Chemical ...
Tech Xplore / Humans and AI models show similar confusion when reading tricky program code
Researchers from Saarland University and the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems have, for the first time, shown that the reactions of humans and large language models (LLMs) to complex or misleading program code significantly ...
Medical Xpress / How to rewire a fruit fly brain: Attraction and repulsion shape neural circuits
How the brain gets wired up matters. Consider the neurons involved in the sense of smell. Hook them up wrong, and suddenly turpentine might smell like a lovely chianti.
Phys.org / Polymer beads generate electricity for self-charging devices using simple friction
An international team has discovered a simple and environmentally friendly way to power the next generation of self-charging electronics. The work is published in Nano Energy.
