Scientists propose a spray that will make the most aggressive brain cancer tumors commit suicide. This spray contains bio-nanoantennae, special molecules that can alter cells at the quantum level.

Scientists at the University of Nottingham have devised a unique spray treatment method to cure glioblastoma, a highly aggressive brain cancer that annually kills over 10,000 people in the US.

Mental preparation — and the ability to laugh at ourselves — can ensure that frustrating failures lead to great breakthroughs.

Synchronization in networks, from dancing groups to brain cells, is influenced by the structure of connections between its members. Recent research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that the quality of synchronization depends on ‘walks’ within a network, with a higher number of convergent walks leading to poorer synchronization…

Mind mastery refers to intentionally developing self-awareness and discipline to take control of your thought patterns, emotional responses, and behaviors. Rather than operating on autopilot or being swept away by negativity, you respond consciously in alignment with your values and goals. Benefits of mind mastery include reduced stress, achieving ambitions, fulfilled relationships, and overall life satisfaction.

Mastering your mind requires commitment, but small, consistent steps to steward your thoughts and manage your emotions will compound to impact your mental health and empower your life profoundly. Here are key techniques:

Practice observing your thoughts like clouds passing by without reacting or judging. Creating this mental space between stimulus and response allows you to gain perspective. Ask what evidence supports or contradicts anxious thoughts.

In a recent study published in JAMA, researchers investigated whether accelerometer-assessed sedentary behavior was associated with incident dementia.

The global population is engaging in more sedentary-type activities such as sitting while using the computer, watching television, and driving. Studies have reported associations between sedentary behavior and cardiometabolic diseases and related mortality; however, its relationship with new-onset dementia is not clear.

Serious vision loss affects millions of Americans each year, and biological strategies are still decades away from restoring eyesight lost to macular degeneration. But University of Oregon researchers are looking to create an electronic solution — a bionic eye — that could restore people’s sight. They’re tapping into the world of fractal structures that will allow a retinal implant and a human brain to communicate with each other.

DishBrain reveals how human neurons work together to process information. New research shows that when neurons are given information about the changing world around them (task-related sensory input) it changes how they behave, putting them on edge so that tiny inputs can then set off ‘avalanches’.

In the 1939 neuroscientists began cutting living human brains in two in order to treat certain types of epileptic seizures. Subsequent experiments on those patients gave science an unnerving window into the nature of human consciousness. It turns out that there might be more versions inside of your own brain than you might be comfortable with.

Netherlands: The use of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) among kidney transplant recipients may lead to severe fatigue, fatigue severity, and lower mental and physical health-related quality of life, a new study has suggested. The study was published online in the American Journal Of Kidney Diseases.

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly prescribed medications for the management of acid-related gastrointestinal disorders.

Tim J. Knobbe and colleagues aimed to investigate the potential association between PPI use and fatigue as well as health-related quality of life among 937 kidney transplant recipients. Participants were at least one-year post-transplantation and were enrolled in the TransplantLines Biobank and Cohort Study.
