Snake's worst day captured in very rare sighting of unusual animal behavior
Posted by ArielTechGeek 207 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
While we all know it's a dog-eat-dog world, so to speak, an Australian snake species has taken the suggestion of cannibalism very literally and has been captured consuming a smaller, and very unlucky, version of itself.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Snakes, Animal science, Australia, Wildlife, Animals
Ant colonies perform strange group behavior never recorded before
Posted by ArielTechGeek 366 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Playing dead is a common defense mechanism in the animal kingdom, but scientists in Australia have discovered an example on a whole new scale. Entire colonies of ants were found to be feigning death, in a collective behavior that’s never been recorded before.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Insect, Ants, ANT+, University of South Australia, Behavior, Animal science, Animals
AI outperforms human eye in spotting epileptic behavior in mice
Posted by ArielTechGeek 440 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
The advent of high-resolution imaging has provided healthcare providers and scientists with a greater understanding of the brain circuit malfunctions seen in epileptics, but less is known about how epilepsy affects behavior. A new study has used state-of-the-art AI on mice to catch epilepsy-related behavior that can be missed by the human eye.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Epilep
Common heart medicine could reduce violent behavior
Posted by ArielTechGeek 467 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
For half a century beta blockers have been used to help patients with cardiovascular problems manage their abnormal heart rhythms, but a new study tracking over a million people has found the common drug may also reduce aggression and violent behavior.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Drugs, Anxiety, Heart Disease, Behavior
Fusion researchers spot strange, high-energy behavior in burning plasma
Posted by ArielTechGeek 545 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Mimicking the extreme reactions that take place inside the Sun, as is the aim of nuclear fusion researchers of all persuasions, is one thing. Having them generate heat to keep the reactions going and produce clean, limitless energy, would be the true holy grail. Researchers recently took an important step towards this goal with the achievement of a self-heating “burning plasma,” and now a closer
Octopuses hurl objects in rare example of animal throwing behavior
Posted by ArielTechGeek 548 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Scientists studying the behavior of wild octopuses off the coast of Australia have made a strange discovery, with the creatures caught hurling silt, algae and even shells at one another. The finding sees the cephalopods join just a handful of animals known to throw objects at targets, though the researchers aren’t exactly sure of the motivation for the behavior.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology,
Scientists implant human brain cells into rats and control their behavior
Posted by ArielTechGeek 569 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers at Stanford University have transplanted human neurons into rat brains, seen them mature into hybridized brain circuits and then used them to influence the rodents’ behavior. The work marks an impressive step forward for neuroscience, and could see rat brains serve as living laboratories for the study of cognitive disorders.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: organoid, Brain, Stanf
CRISPR-edited hamsters exhibit unexpected social behavior changes
Posted by ArielTechGeek 721 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers experimenting with genetically engineered hamsters have found that the biology behind social behavior may be more complex than we thought. The team used CRISPR to block a certain neurochemical signaling pathway, and found that the animals’ social behaviors changed in unexpected ways.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Neuroscience, Behavior, CRISPR, Genetic engineering, Ge
Genetics study upends stereotypes around modern dog breeds and behavior
Posted by ArielTechGeek 745 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
The way we associate certain behavioral traits with certain breeds can be a huge factor in our relationships with dogs, from parents with toddlers and family-friendly labradors to couch potatoes and their sleepy greyhound sidekicks. A fascinating new study has provided compelling evidence that all is not what it seems when it comes to such stereotypes, demonstrating that the genetic reasons for d
