Phys.org / Study reveals key psychological barriers to game meat consumption in Japan
A new study provides a crucial roadmap for Japan to address an escalating ecological challenge while advancing food sustainability: overcoming the psychological barriers to game meat consumption.
Phys.org / Animals maintain stability by monitoring their body position and correcting errors with every step
With every step we take, our brains are already thinking about the next one. If a bump in the terrain or a minor misstep has thrown us off balance, our stride may need to be altered to prevent a fall. Our two-legged posture ...
Phys.org / Fish freshness easily monitored with a new sensor
To see if a fish is fresh, people recommend looking at its eyes and gills or giving it a sniff. But a more accurate check for food quality and safety is to look for compounds that form when decomposition starts.
Medical Xpress / Specialized neuron populations in the mouse cortex coordinate to guide correct decisions, study suggests
For decades, neuroscientists have been trying to pinpoint the neural underpinnings of behavior and decision-making. Past studies suggest that specialized groups of neurons in the mammalian brain, particularly in the cortex, ...
Medical Xpress / Human gene maps are biased towards European ancestries, study reveals
Human gene maps contain major blind spots because they were built largely from the DNA sequences of people with European ancestry, according to a study published in Nature Communications.
Medical Xpress / Autistic children born preterm often show more complex needs—but share similar genetic background
A new study shows that children born preterm who are later diagnosed with autism often present with more extensive support needs and a higher number of co-occurring conditions than autistic children born at full term. Surprisingly, ...
Phys.org / Extracellular vesicles: Key to halting aging?
Researchers at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) are a step closer to finding the fountain of youth.
Phys.org / Sperm tails and male infertility: Critical protein revealed via ultrastructure expansion microscopy
Male infertility is a major issue worldwide and its causes remain unclear. Now, an international team of researchers led by Hiroki Shibuya at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) in Japan has discovered ...
Medical Xpress / Adults who want children favor older-looking partners (but not for their money), study suggests
Participants in a study who self-reported a stronger desire to have children showed a weaker preference for younger faces compared to those with a weaker desire to have children, according to a study by Jingheng Li and colleagues ...

A new report from the University of Liverpool and the United Nations Migration Agency–International Organization for Migration (IOM) demonstrates how harnessing digital data collected from mobile phone applications and ...
Phys.org / Euclid dataset of a million galaxies proves connection between galaxy mergers and AGN
Astronomers have long debated the role of galaxy mergers in powering active supermassive black holes. Now an unprecedented dataset of a million galaxies from the Euclid telescope provides evidence that mergers play a dominant ...
