New study identifies subgroups of older adults at high risk of multimorbidity
Seven-class model reflecting different clusters of health behavior across time. Note. The x-axis lists each of the four behaviors—smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and fruit and vegetable intake—across five time points. The y-axis provides the average probability for each of the indicators (i.e., four health behaviors) conditional on membership in a given class (i.e., cluster).
Research identifies gene ‘fingerprint’ for brain aging
Graphical abstract. Credit: Cell (2023). DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2023.07.027 Most of us who've reached middle age have noticed a slowing in memory and cognition, but scientists don't have a clear picture of the molecular changes that take place in the brain to cause it. Now, a study in mice has determined that the most pronounced changes occur
Study identifies a new building block in the navigation system of fish
The ability to navigate is among the essential cognitive abilities for the survival of fish, the most significant class of vertebrates, and nearly all other animal classes. The neurological foundation of navigation is significantly influenced by space encoding in single neurons. The environment fish navigate through is one key distinction between fish and other vertebrates.
Study identifies mechanism holding electron pairs together in unconventional superconductors
With the spin fluctuations in the centre, the theoretical description becomes most meaningful. Credit: Vienna University of Technology Depending on the perspective one chooses, a theoretical calculation can describe observed physics more or less accurately. Back in 2015, Alessandro Toschi from the Institute of Solid State Physics at TU Wien and his team, within an…
