Novel 5-minute workout improves blood pressure, may boost brain function
Preliminary results from a clinical trial of Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training (IMST), presented this week at the Experimental Biology conference in Orlando, suggest "yes." "IMST is basically strength-training for the muscles you breathe in with," said Daniel Craighead, a postdoctoral researcher in the the University of Colorado Boulder Integrative Physiology
Five-minute sample processing enhances DNA imaging and analysis
Described in ACS Nano, JILA's gentle, yet effective process involves binding DNA to mica, a flat silicate mineral.
Rainfall changes for key crops predicted even with reduced greenhouse gas emissions
The study uses four emissions scenarios from low to high to predict time of emergence (TOE) of permanent precipitation changes, meaning the year by which precipitation changes remain permanently outside their historical variation in a specific location.
The research shows that quick action on emissions -- in line with 2015's

Researchers discover the source of new neurons in brain's hippocampus: Findings extend understanding of how a continuous supply of neurons throughout life is connected with learning and memory
Researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have shown, in mice, that one type of stem cell that makes adult neurons is the source of this lifetime stock of new cells in the hippocampus. Published this week in Cell, these findings may help neuroscientists figure
The brain's auto-complete function: New insights into associative memory

Macdonald Triad Traits That Predict Psychopathic Tendencies in a Child
Do you think it is possible to detect psychopathic tendencies in adults from early childhood behaviour? The Macdonald Triad theorises that three particular behaviours are common amongst children who then display psychopathic traits as adults. Children who exhibit all three of these traits are far more likely to engage in

For the writer Vladimir Nabokov, "aa" was the colour of polished ebony and "ee" was yellow.Nabokov had synaesthesia: his sensory perceptions mingled with one another.
Screen time -- even before bed -- has little impact on teen well-being
"Implementing best practice statistical and methodological techniques we found little evidence for substantial negative associations between digital-screen engagement and adolescent well-being," said Amy Orben, a Researcher at the Oxford Internet Institute (OII) and College Lecturer at the Queen's College, University of Oxford. "While psychological science can be a powerful tool
Poverty leaves a mark on our genes: Study's findings challenge understandings of genes as fixed features of our biology
Previous research has shown that socioeconomic status (SES) is a powerful determinant of human health and disease, and social inequality is a ubiquitous stressor for human populations globally.
