Work Like a Dream: New Anticholinergic Drug Keeps PTSD Flashbacks and Nightmares Away

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

The researchers hypothesized that due to abnormal excitement of the Meynert basal ganglia, SB enters the brain and activates anticholinergic action to suppress abnormal acetylcholine secretion of acetylcholine-memory-related circuits centered on the Meynert basal ganglia, eliminating the flashbacks.


Fortunately, a group of Japanese researchers from the Sogo PTSD Institute, Medical Corporation Sogokai, Japan led by Dr. Masanobu Sogo appear to have made a breakthrough in PTSD treatment.

They have identified a drug called trihexyphenidyl, that can significantly reduce the flashbacks and nightmares experienced by patients with PTSD, according to a study published in Brain and Behavior.

Virgin Galactic: Richard Branson flight reveals a heated space travel debate

Posted by in category: space travel

On July 1, the company announced that it would host its first fully-crewed spaceflight no earlier than Sunday, July 11. The ship will carry two pilots and four mission specialists, most notably company founder Richard Branson.

It’s the company’s 22nd flight with the VSS Unity ship and the fourth crewed space mission. But it’s that “space” clarifier that’s sparked debate — Virgin Galactic’s flights reach an altitude of just over 55 miles, but some organizations claim the boundary of space is actually 62 miles high.

How a Series of Sleep Loss Impacts Mental and Physical Wellbeing

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health, neuroscience

A previous study led by Lee found losing just 16 minutes of sleep could impact job performance. Her previous findings also show that minor sleep loss can decrease daily mindfulness, which is a critical recourse for managing stress and maintaining healthy routines.


Summary: Three consecutive nights of sleep loss can have a negative impact on both mental and physical health. Sleep deprivation can lead to an increase in anger, frustration, and anxiety. Additionally, those who experienced sleep loss reported a change in physical wellbeing, including gastrointestinal and respiratory problems.

Mapping phenotypic and aetiological associations between ADHD and physical conditions in adulthood in Sweden: a genetically informed register study

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, health, neuroscience

This mapping of aetiological sources of cross-disorder overlap can guide future research aiming to identify specific mechanisms contributing to risk of physical conditions in people with ADHD, which could ultimately inform preventive and lifestyle intervention efforts. Our findings highlight the importance of assessing the presence of physical conditions in patients with ADHD.

Nanorobotics: what it is, what it can do, and how it can become reality

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, nanotechnology, robotics/AI

They’re tiny machines that work on the nanoscale, being up to 100000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. These machines, otherwise known as nanorobotics, are set to augment the human race in unforeseen ways.

However, this microscopic technology has remained in the prototype phase for the past two decades, failing to truly live up to its promise, and lagging due to difficult manufacturing processes, a lack of standardization, and scant reviews of the available literature.

Picture a scenario where you’re ill and need to see your doctor. However, instead of giving you a pill or a shot, your doctor injects you with a swarm of tiny robots.
