Fur seals may look relaxed on shore, but their hearts reveal a hidden battle still underway after deep dives. Diving places enormous physical stress on marine mammals. During long and deep dives, animals can switch to ‘anaerobic’ (oxygen-less) metabolism in parts of the body outside the heart and brain, which leads to a buildup of […]
Fur Seals’ Hearts Suddenly Spike Hours After Returning to Land
Fur seals may look relaxed on shore, but their hearts reveal a hidden battle still underway after deep dives. Diving places enormous physical stress on marine mammals. During long and deep dives, animals can switch to ‘anaerobic’ (oxygen-less) metabolism in parts of the body outside the heart and brain, which leads to a buildup of […]
Scientists Say Cognitive Decline Isn’t Inevitable — Your Brain Can Improve at Any Age
A long-term study found that brain health can improve throughout life with consistent daily habits, cognitive training, and personalized support, regardless of age. What if the brain doesn’t have to follow the familiar path of gradual decline with age? A major new study published in Scientific Reports is challenging long-held assumptions about aging, revealing that […]
The Hidden Types of Dementia Most People Have Never Heard Of
Dementia is more than memory loss, and rare types can affect vision, movement, and behavior. Recognizing these symptoms early can improve diagnosis and support. When most people hear the word “dementia,” they think of memory loss and forgetfulness. But dementia can affect far more than memory, causing changes in speech, behavior, sleep, movement, and other […]

Scientists Discover Why Alcohol Prevents the Liver From Healing, Even After You Quit
Scientists have uncovered why severely damaged livers can continue failing even after a person stops drinking alcohol. The human liver is famous for its ability to regenerate. Ancient myths even referenced its seemingly endless capacity to heal. But in people with severe alcohol-related liver disease, that recovery system can suddenly fail, leaving the organ unable […]
A Crucial Atlantic Current Is Weakening and Weather Could Change Worldwide
A giant Atlantic Ocean current that helps regulate Earth’s climate is slowing down, and scientists say the impacts could be global. A massive Atlantic Ocean circulation system that plays a central role in regulating Earth’s climate has been weakening for nearly 20 years, according to a new study. Scientists say the slowdown spans a large […]
