Animal studies have shown that pregnancy is associated with unique changes in the mammalian brain and behaviour, although pregnancy-associated changes in the human brain are less well studied. Here the authors show that pregnancy is associated with changes in resting state brain activity and brain anatomy which are most pronounced in the default mode network.
An unexpected discovery in a piece of amber stored at Harvard University since the 1930s reveals that army ants once lived in Europe.
Giving the anti-clotting drug rivaroxaban to patients for 12 weeks instead of the usual six after a blood clot in the lower leg reduces the risk of further clots developing up to two years after treatment, finds a trial published by The BMJ today.
What’s more, the additional six weeks of treatment did not result in increased bleeding risk, a common side effect of anti-clotting drugs.
Rivaroxaban is an anticoagulant drug. It’s given to people at a high risk of getting dangerous blood clots to help their blood clot (thicken) more slowly.
There is a deep root of mathematics within biology. How this came to be, you’ll have to watch the video to find out.

A new discovery could finally usher the development of solid-state lithium batteries, which would be more lightweight, compact, and safe than current lithium batteries. The growth of metallic filaments called dendrites within the solid electrolyte has been a longstanding obstacle, but the new study explains how dendrites form and how to divert them.

It is our pleasure to announce the open-source release of Stable Diffusion Version 2.
The original Stable Diffusion V1 led by CompVis changed the nature of open source AI models and spawned hundreds of other models and innovations all over the world. It had one of the fastest climbs to 10K Github stars of any software, rocketing through 33K stars in less than two months.
