New Brain Study: Speech Learning Relies More on Sound and Sensation Processing Than Mouth Movement Control
Researchers found the brain regions critical for learning and remembering speech are primarily sensory rather than motor — a finding with implications for speech therapy.
Ancient DNA Reveals Plague Was Killing Humans 5,500 Years Ago — Long Before Rats or Cities Existed
Researchers analyzing DNA from hunter-gatherer remains have pushed back the earliest known plague infections by millennia changing theories about how the bacterium spread.
Scientists Discover How Newborn Neurons Navigate Impossibly Tight Spaces in the Developing Brain
Research reveals the mechanical and biochemical strategies that newly formed brain cells use to squeeze through dense tissue and reach their final developmental positions.
Mayo Clinic Scientists Uncover a Kidney’s Secret Backup System for Conserving Water
A surprising discovery at Mayo Clinic reveals a second mechanism by which kidneys regulate water retention that works independently of the primary antidiuretic hormone system.
Mediterranean Diet Shingles Vaccine and Asundexian All Independently Shown to Reduce Stroke Risk
Three new clinical studies published simultaneously have identified distinct approaches that each meaningfully reduce the risk of stroke using diet vaccination and medication.
Vitamin D and Calcium Supplements May Offer Less Bone Protection Than Previously Thought — BMJ Study
A major review published in the BMJ challenges decades of clinical guidance finding the combined supplements do not reliably reduce fracture risk in most populations.
Women Who Strength Train Two or More Hours Weekly May Significantly Reduce Their Heart Attack Risk
New research shows that regular resistance training for women is associated with a dramatically lower incidence of cardiovascular disease and heart attack events.
FDA-Approved Drug AMD3100 Frees T-Cells Trapped in Fibrous Tissue to Attack Rare Liver Cancer
Scientists found that a rare form of liver cancer evades the immune system by luring T-cells into surrounding fibrous tissue where they become inactive and ineffective.
Ancient Brain Cells That Filter Distractions Discovered in Tiny Region Found Across Vertebrate Species
Scientists identified a small cluster of neurons in a primitive brain region that serves as a built-in focus filter helping the brain suppress irrelevant stimuli.
