Why some kids struggle with math even when they try hard

Researchers at Stanford University led by Hyesang Chang set out to better understand why some children find math much harder than their classmates. Their findings were published in the journal JNeurosci, a peer reviewed neuroscience journal that focuses on how the brain supports thinking and behavior. Many people assume math…

Large study finds no link between mRNA COVID vaccine in pregnancy and autism

Receiving an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine shortly before or at any point during pregnancy is not linked to autism or other developmental disorders in children, according to research presented at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) 2026 Pregnancy Meeting. The findings provide new data on the long term health of children…

AI uncovers the hidden genetic control centers driving Alzheimer’s

A team led by Min Zhang and Dabao Zhang at the University of California, Irvine’s Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health has developed the most comprehensive maps yet of how genes directly influence one another in brain cells affected by Alzheimer’s disease. These maps go beyond identifying…

Stop eating 3 hours before bed to improve heart health

Researchers at Northwestern Medicine explored whether timing an overnight fast to match a person’s natural sleep wake cycle could improve heart and metabolic health. The circadian rhythm plays a central role in regulating cardiovascular and metabolic function. Importantly, participants did not reduce calories. The focus was entirely on adjusting when…

Scientists find nerves actively fuel pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most difficult cancers to diagnose early, and it often does not respond well to standard treatments. Because of this, scientists are searching for new ways to stop the disease before it advances. Researchers already understand that nerves can help cancer spread, but what happens…

Tracking global water circulation using atomic fingerprints

Scientists can now follow the path of a single drop of water across the globe. Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen, and some of these atoms naturally exist in slightly heavier forms called isotopes. As water evaporates, forms clouds, and moves through the atmosphere, the proportion of these isotopes…

Maltempo, si sbriciola in mare l’arco dell’amore Melendugno – Notizie – Ansa.it

Il maltempo cancella uno dei tratti costieri più iconici del Salento: l’imponente l’arco dei faraglioni di Sant’Andrea, a Melendugno conosciuto anche come arco dell’amore, si è completamente sbriciolato in acqua. Il crollo sarebbe stato causato dalle mareggiate e dalle piogge violente di questi giorni, l’ultima nel corso della scorsa serata.…

Scientists found a way to plant ideas in dreams to boost creativity

Most people have heard the advice to “sleep on it” when faced with a tough decision. New research suggests that guidance may be grounded in science. While many people report breakthrough ideas emerging from dreams, researchers have struggled to test this phenomenon because dreams are difficult to control in a…

Psychedelics may work by shutting down reality and unlocking memory

Psychedelic substances act on the brain by binding to serotonin receptors. Scientists have identified at least 14 different receptors that respond to the neurotransmitter serotonin. Psychedelics are especially drawn to one known as the 2A receptor. This receptor not only affects learning but also dampens activity in parts of the…

Massive study finds most statin side effects aren’t caused by the drugs

Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, responsible for about 20 million deaths each year and roughly a quarter of all deaths in the UK. Statins are widely prescribed medications that reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and are proven to lower the risk of heart attacks, strokes,…
