A recent study has identified a gene related to anorexia, PLIN4, which acts primarily in adipose tissue and muscle rather than in the brain, suggesting that the predisposition to this disorder may be associated with the way the body stores and uses fat. #Anorexia #Genética #Metabolismo (translated)

The Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2026 was awarded to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel for their discovery of optogenetics, a technique that uses light to control neurons and unveil the mysteries of the brain, with clinical applications in various diseases. #Nobel2026 #Optogenética #Cérebro (translated)

The research led by investigator Ricardo Henrique reveals that the discovery of channelrhodopsin allows the study of brain behaviors, such as fear, through light stimulation, offering new approaches to understand and treat diseases like depression and anxiety. #Neurociências #Depressão #Ansiedade (translated)

The 2026 Nobel Prize in Medicine has been awarded to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel for their discoveries on light-activated ion channels and optogenetics, a technique that allows the control of nerve signals using light and has contributed to the understanding of the brain and the development of new medical therapies. #Optogenética #PremioNobel #Ciencia (translated)

The author argued that nearly all published claims about quantum physics in the brain were nonsense, but said a physicist in Istanbul had proposed a different approach that required no exotic new physics and could be tested. https://t.co/lTQF8dhNi9 #FísicaCuántica #Cerebro #Ciencia #TR

JH Fonseca stated that the association between beauty and less visible qualities, such as competence, had already been studied by science. He attributed the phenomenon to the combination of "attractiveness bias" with the "halo effect" and said that many people might think that this was not true. #Ciência #ComportamentoHumano #EfeitoHalo (translated)

Daniele Mari reported on Sportium Fun the comment of Viviano, who said he was increasingly amazed by Pio Esposito's ability to be in the right position, protect the ball, and aid the team’s advance. According to Viviano, these qualities also emerged in the action leading to Kayode's goal: Esposito had managed to insert himself at the right moment as the defense retreated. He compared him to Scamacca, stating that the latter had been anticipated three times out of three, and described Esposito’s abilities as extraordinary. In his commentary, Viviano also directed an insult at the viewers who, in his opinion, underestimated those plays. #calcio #talento #giocatori (translated)

A study from Stanford reveals that the brain may have originated from two separate populations of embryonic cells, challenging the traditional model of neural development and suggesting an ancient evolutionary division between the anterior and posterior brain regions. #Cerebro #BiologíaDelDesarrollo #Neurociencia (translated)

Investigadores del CNIO han descubierto una fase de vulnerabilidad en los tumores que permite eliminar micrometástasis en el cerebro utilizando fármacos ya aprobados, lo que abre la posibilidad de prevenir la metástasis antes de que se presente. #Metástasis #InvestigaciónOncológica #CancerCell

Hoy he visto a gente destrozada, llorando a gritos, algunos tirados de rodillas en el pasillo, otros agarrados a las butacas como si se les cayera el mundo encima. Abrazos desesperados entre desconocidos, gente temblando y sacudiendo la cabeza una y otra vez, como si el cerebro no quisiera aceptarlo. Había quien se golpeaba el pecho, quien se tapaba los oídos como si aún oyera la película. Gente que se paraba otra vez en la puerta, como si no pudiera cruzarla. Se quedaban ahí, mirando el pasillo, como si al otro lado ya no estuviera la misma vida. Como si salir fuera aceptar que se había acabado de verdad. La bola negra, te vamos a querer para siempre. #Duelo #Desamor #Solidaridad
