Researchers at Northwestern University have made a breakthrough in identifying a way for Alzheimer's disease to be treated far more effectively in the future – using the brain's own immune cells.Continue ReadingCategory: Alzheimer's & Dementia, Brain Health, Body & MindTags: Alzheimer's disease, Northwestern University
Your brain might have a spoon-sized amount of plastic in it
Posted by ArielTechGeek 9 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
By now, you've no doubt heard that modern living is filling our bodies with microplastics. But an alarming study now shows just how much of the non-degradable particles are in our brains, and how much higher they are in dementia patients.Continue ReadingCategory: Brain Health, Body & MindTags: Microplastic, Brain, Plastics, Plastic, Plastic waste, Water Bottle, University of New Mexico
The world's first "biological computer" that fuses human brain cells with silicon hardware to form fluid neural networks has been commercially launched, ushering in a new age of AI technology. The CL1, from Australian company Cortical Labs, offers a whole new kind of computing intelligence – one that's more dynamic, sustainable and energy efficient than any AI that currently exists – and we will
Two beers a day shrinks your brain as much as a decade of aging
Posted by ArielTechGeek 13 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
A 2022 study of more than 36,000 high-quality MRI brain scans found drinking four units of alcohol a day – two beers, or two glasses of wine – can cause structural damage and brain volume loss equivalent to 10 years of aging. The findings proved to be the tip of the iceberg for researchers looking at how alcohol affects our brain.Continue ReadingCategory: Wellness & Healthy Living, Body &
Human brain turned to glass by ash cloud from Vesuvius
Posted by ArielTechGeek 14 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Excavations have found that the brain of what seems to be a human male contained dark glass formed during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE. The effect can't be explained by lava temperatures alone, but rather a different event from the cataclysm.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Disasters, volcano, Bones, Archeology, Human, Brain
New weight loss mechanism blocks formation of white fat cells in mice
Posted by ArielTechGeek 14 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Scientists in China have found a new potential drug target for weight loss. Blocking a protein called CD44 has been shown to protect against obesity in mice on a high-fat diet, specifically by suppressing the formation of white fat cells.Continue ReadingCategory: Obesity, Illnesses and conditions, Body & MindTags: Obesity, Diabetes, Weight, Weight Loss, Ozempic, China, Health, Fat cells
