Large-scale earthquakes and tsunamis have historically affected the western regions of the U.S. and Canada and are likely to do so in the future.

Off the southern coasts of British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and northern California, a 600-mile-long strip exists where the Pacific Ocean floor gradually subducts eastward beneath North America.

This area, called the Cascadia Subduction Zone, hosts a megathrust fault, a place where tectonic plates move against each other in a highly dangerous way. The plates can periodically lock up and build stress over wide areas―eventually to be released when they finally lurch against each other.

L.A. Times metro reporter Ron Lin spoke to several seismology experts and joined Lisa McRee to share their perspectives on the significance of the most recent temblor and which types of buildings are of concern.

Neuralink’s first patient says he’s given his brain-chip implant a name seven months after it was surgically implanted.

Noland Arbaugh, who is quadriplegic and became the first person to get the computer-controlling implant developed by Elon Musk’s brain-interface company, said Wednesday that he had named the device “Eve” and was working with it to improve himself in different ways.

The JUICE spacecraft recently swung past the Moon and Earth in a rare maneuver on its journey to Jupiter.

Recent research has found that resilient individuals have healthier gut microbiomes and more active brain regions for emotion regulation, highlighting a strong gut-brain connection that supports better stress management and overall mental well-being.

Researchers from Karolinska Institutet have shown that there is a connection between medication against ADHD and a reduced risk of dying prematurely.

Forskare från Karolinska Institutet har visat att det finns ett samband mellan medicinering mot adhd och minskad risk för att dö i förtid. Risken för dödsfall av onaturliga orsaker, som olyckor och överdoseringar, kan minska med en fjärdedel, enligt den nya studien publicerad i JAMA.

It provides new options for patients with poor access to this essential testing.
