Old-fashioned sleuthing and modern technology have led to the discovery of a manuscript containing a poem written by a farm laborer 1,300 years ago. An early 9th-century manuscript containing one of the earliest surviving copies of the first known poem in English has been found in Rome by researchers from Trinity College Dublin. The manuscript, […]
That Haunted Feeling May Be Caused by a Sound You Can’t Hear
People exposed to infrasound may not consciously hear it, but they can show higher cortisol levels and increased irritability, which may help explain reports of “haunted” locations. Infrasound refers to sound at very low frequencies, below 20 Hertz (Hz), a range that people usually cannot hear. It can be produced by natural events such as […]
Scientists May Have Discovered How Parkinson’s Disease Spreads Through the Brain
Researchers have identified two proteins on the surface of neurons that may help drive the spread of Parkinson’s disease in the brain. New Yale School of Medicine (YSM) research suggests that two proteins on the surface of brain neurons involved in movement may play a key role in the progression of Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s disease […]

Scientists Unveil New Treatment Strategy That Could Outsmart Cancer
A new mathematical study explores how evolutionary principles could help doctors stay ahead of treatment-resistant cancers. A new study suggests that improving the timing of cancer treatments could help increase cure rates. The study’s principal investigator, Dr. Robert Noble, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Mathematics, City, St George’s, University of London, focused on a […]
Why Some Brains Switch Gears Faster Than Others
Your brain’s internal timing system may help determine how quickly and efficiently you think. The human brain is constantly managing streams of information that move at very different speeds. Some signals require immediate responses to sudden changes in the environment, while others involve slower forms of thinking, such as interpreting meaning, context, or complex situations. […]

Do Parrots Really Use Names? Scientists Say the Answer May Surprise You
Do parrots actually use names the way humans do? A new study analyzing hundreds of captive parrots reveals surprisingly complex social communication. Like many animals, parrots produce calls that can sound as though they are communicating with one another, perhaps even addressing a particular bird. But whether they use names in anything like the human […]
