Parrots in captivity have been reported to show dance behavior in response to music, which may involve complex cognitive processes including imitation, vocal learning and entrainment. Dance behavior in parrots may be indicative of a positive…

Both for research and medical purposes, researchers have spent decades pushing the limits of microscopy to produce ever deeper and sharper images of brain activity, not only in the cortex but also in regions underneath such as the…

A new study published in the journal Health Data Science has shown that having poor sleep habits is linked to dozens of diseases, including heart disease, liver cirrhosis, dementia, and gangrene.

The study…

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are a significant cause of hospital admissions and treatment discontinuation worldwide. Conventional approaches often fail to detect rare or delayed effects of medicinal products. In order to improve…

Nearly a third of cancer-related deaths are caused by cachexia, a currently incurable metabolic syndrome that involves substantial weight loss, including depletion of muscle mass and body fat. Researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science…

That’s the conclusion reached by a Rutgers-led team of researchers,…

Chemotherapies such as cytarabine can cause neurotoxicity, whereas others such as gemcitabine are well tolerated, despite both being nucleoside analogues capable of crossing the blood–brain barrier. Both drugs are known to induce single-strand…
