The author said the research could help scientists identify links between brain cells and functions, memories and behaviour, and better understand conditions such as dementia, epilepsy and addiction.

Vozinha recounted that at the beginning of his career, his monthly salary was 100 euros, the minimum at the time, and that he had reached 450 euros during his best years. According to him, this income allowed him to be independent, without giving him enough security to calmly consider the future. With his first paycheck, he paid the family's water, internet, and electricity bills, bought coffee, and a few missing products for the house. He also said he had always managed his money well and saved. His grandfather had become an alcoholic when Vozinha was 12 years old, he explained. He then missed workdays and lost clients, which affected their daily life. Sometimes Vozinha had to go searching for him when his grandmother didn’t know where he was. This situation lasted until his grandfather's death when he was 21 years old. #salaire #financespersonnelles #sport (translated)

At the end of the 80s, a kid fell in love with this sport thanks to his father. Precocious, Cristiano made him so proud that he thought, with his simple gift, he could pull his dad out of the addictions that plagued him. He often repeated: winning with Portugal is his greatest pride. Until the end, Ronaldo will have worn his country's colors with pride, love, and passion. And while this insatiable hunger and oversized ego (the one that protected and shaped him so much) may have eventually tarnished this beautiful story, it remains legendary nonetheless. Thank you, Cristiano. With your presence, you have made us all, at one time or another, supporters or rivals of Portugal 🇵🇹 #CristianoRonaldo #Portugal #Football (translated)

Le « Kids Act », règlement européen visant à protéger les mineurs en ligne, impose une interdiction d'accès aux réseaux sociaux pour les moins de 13 ans, introduit des « mini-comptes » pour les 13-14 ans avec supervision parentale, et prohibe les fonctionnalités addictives sur les plateformes destinées aux jeunes. #ProtectionDesEnfants #RèglementUE #AddictionAuxÉcrans

Interdire l'accès aux réseaux sociaux, c'est une illusion : l'exemple australien le montre. Il faudrait contrôler l'identité de tous les Français. Mais nous pouvons interdire l'addiction.

Qu'il s'agisse de vaccination, d'accidents domestiques, d'addictions ou de suicide en établissement, les rapports disent la même chose — mieux vaut transformer l'environnement que culpabiliser les individus. Ils rappellent aussi que l'info santé échappe à une personne sur trois, et que le lien de proximité — voisin, commerçant, association — retient celles et ceux que les grands réseaux ont lâchés. Face aux récits de l'industrie comme aux publics les plus éloignés — adolescentes exploitées, migrants, familles isolées — un même levier revient : aller vers, sans jugement, là où les inégalités se creusent. Le terrain, souvent, est déjà en avance. Reste à documenter ce qui marche, et à le défendre. #PromotionSanté #DéterminantsDeSanté #InégalitésSociales #AllerVers #LittératieSanté #PréventionBaséeSurPreuves #LienSocial #SantéCommunautaire #Plaidoyer #pratiquesensante
