The Download: a new hunt for dark matter and Kenya’s case for going solar
This is today’s edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what’s going on in the world of technology. The search for dark matter has been blown wide open For decades, physicists have hunted for…
Covariance-based analysis of spindle-band EEG during declarative and non-declarative odor cueing in sleep
IntroductionSleep supports memory consolidation through the reactivation of neural circuits engaged during learning. Targeted Memory Reactivation (TMR), in which memory-associated sensory cues are presented during sleep, can enhance declarative memory retention. However, the neural signatures supporting odor-cued reactivation remain incompletely…
Relationship between spontaneous EEG oscillations at 7 and 45 days of acute plateau exposure and the plateau acclimatization index
IntroductionThis study tracked 47 high-altitude migrants to investigate the adaptive mechanisms of the brain to hypoxic environments.MethodsEEG and physiological indicators (SpO2, HCT, AAI) were recorded during the acute (7 days) and chronic (45 days) phases of high-altitude exposure. EEG complexity…
Transcranial magnetic stimulation and motor overflow: a systematic review in neurological disorders
Motor overflow, a neuromotor phenomenon characterized by involuntary activation of muscles during voluntary movement, reflects impairments in interhemispheric and intracortical inhibition and is commonly observed in conditions such as stroke, cerebral palsy, dystonia, and Parkinson’s disease. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)…
Neuroprotective effects of paederoside against mitochondrial dysfunction in rotenone-induced cell models of Parkinson’s disease
IntroductionParkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder and is one of the leading causes of neurological disability. Although there are currently no cures or treatments for this disease, many patients with PD may therapeutically benefit from preventing…
Case Report: Subacute combined degeneration misdiagnosed as a primary affective disorder: diagnostic pitfalls and clinical red flags
BackgroundSubacute combined degeneration (SCD) of the spinal cord is a progressive neurological disorder caused by vitamin B12 deficiency. When initial symptoms present as nonspecific fatigue, dizziness, and affective distress, the condition is frequently misattributed to primary psychiatric disorders. This “diagnostic…
Virtual reality based attentional bias modification training for patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder: a feasibility study
BackgroundAttentional bias modification (ABM) training is employed to modulate attentional bias and alleviate clinical symptoms in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) patients. This study aimed to develop a novel, ecologically valid ABM paradigm based on virtual reality (VR). The intent was to…
Systematic review of animal studies on the use of herbal medicine for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
BackgroundAttention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a common neurodevelopmental condition, often requires treatment with stimulants such as methylphenidate and nonstimulants such as atomoxetine. Despite their effectiveness, medication-related side effects, adherence and symptom control issues have increased the interest in alternative therapies, especially herbal…
Job demands and resources in relation to burnout and educational coexistence among Chilean education workers
This study aimed to examine the fit of a structural equation model relating selected job demands and job resources to burnout and perceptions of educational coexistence among Chilean education personnel. A total of 710 workers from this sector (administrators, teachers,…

High-end infant formula scrutiny, the spread of synthetic opioids, and more health news from Morning Rounds
STAT+: In pancreatic cancer, Patrick Soon-Shiong makes promises he has not kept
A wide gap exists between what Patrick Soon-Shiong says his cancer drugs can achieve and what they actually do, STAT's Adam Feuerstein writes.
Geoengineering still faces major practical challenges
Solar geoengineering is often portrayed as a sort of emergency brake. Something along the lines of Pull in case of climate emergency to scatter light-reflecting particles to bounce sunlight out of the atmosphere and cool the planet. But it might…
Super-potent synthetic opioids called nitazenes are spreading across the U.S.
Overdose deaths confirmed to involve nitazenes have risen sharply in the U.S., from 27 in 2020 to 409 in 2024, according to the CDC
The search for dark matter has been blown wide open
Underneath an Apennine massif, below the Jinping Mountains of Sichuan, and at the bottom of a South Dakota mine, there is a cosmic hunt afoot. Isolated deep beneath these rocky shields, massive detectors filled with liquid xenon aim to make…
Opinion: Congress should embrace strategic health diplomacy
“Improving global health should be a top policy priority of the United States,” write Anand Parekh, Tom Daschle, and Bill Frist.
