Practice may teach the brain a new movement, but what happens immediately afterward could determine whether that skill lasts. Scientists have long known that repetition alone does not guarantee learning. A newly practiced movement must be stabilized through memory consolidation, a process that continues after training ends. New research in mice suggests that signals arriving […]

Your Mother’s Age May Leave a Biological Mark That Lasts for Generations
Maternal age effects may arise from reversible epigenetic changes whose impact depends partly on genetics and evolutionary pressures. A mother’s age can leave a biological imprint on her offspring, influencing physical and behavioral traits across many animal species, including humans. These so-called maternal age effects are widespread, but scientists still do not fully understand the […]
Women Who Ate More Antioxidants Had Strikingly Lower Rates of Cervical Cancer
Women with the most antioxidant-rich diets had a strikingly lower prevalence of cervical cancer in a nationwide analysis. A cervical cancer diagnosis is usually traced back to one dominant cause: persistent infection with a high-risk strain of human papillomavirus (HPV). But infection alone does not determine who develops cancer, leaving researchers interested in the other […]

A Hidden Hormone Disorder May Be Driving Millions of High Blood Pressure Cases
A hidden hormone disorder may be driving millions of cases of high blood pressure, and a wearable device is revealing what standard tests miss Researchers have used a wearable device to uncover previously hidden hormone patterns in primary aldosteronism, a potentially curable disorder that may affect as many as one in five people with high […]
