New research has found that even a years-old mild concussion can have long-lasting effects on brain function and behavior in otherwise healthy people. The study adds to a growing understanding of traumatic brain injury and is relevant to the evolving legal landscape around brain injuries in sports.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, LifestyleTags: Concussions, Traumatic Brain Injury
The discovery of a quartet of fossilized snakes, a never-before-seen species from the boa family that lived 38 million years ago, has provided paleontologists with a rare insight into reptilian social behavior and provides clues about the evolution of its modern ancestors.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Snakes, Fossils, BOA, University of Alberta
Researchers have developed a remote, non-invasive method of selectively controlling neurons in the brain using magnetic fields. The technique opens the door to a greater understanding of brain function and, potentially, new treatments for disorders.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, LifestyleTags: Brain, Magnetic field, Institute for Basic Science, Yonsei University
Because it doesn’t produce perception-altering effects like THC does, cannabidiol (CBD), one of the active ingredients in cannabis, is deemed to be safe. Indeed, it’s been shown to be an effective treatment for a wide variety of health issues, from reducing epileptic seizures to treating inflammation.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cannabis, Pregnancy, Behavior, Aix-Marseille Univ
