Riemannian transfer learning based on log-Euclidean metric for EEG classification
Brain computer interfaces (BCI), which establish a direct interaction between the brain and the external device bypassing peripheral nerves, is one of the hot research areas.
Key Strategies to Reduce Your Cortisol Levels
Interest in the adverse effects of elevated cortisol levels has been on the rise — a topic I've been dedicated to shedding light on for my readers.
Nanoplastics Linked to Heart Attacks and Stroke
Nanoplastics — particles less than 1 micrometer in size, or 1,000th the average width of a human hair — have emerged as a significant environmental concern due to their widespread prevalence and potential health hazards to humans and wildlife alike. These microscopic fragments result from the degradation of larger plastic debris
The Effects of Leptin on Human Cytotrophoblast Invasion are Gestational Age and Dose-Dependent
Leptin and its receptors are expressed by the human placenta throughout gestation, yet the role of leptin in early human placental development is not well characterized.
PpSAUR5 Promotes Plant Growth by Regulating Lignin and Hormone Pathways
Peach (Prunus persica) has a high nutritional and economic value.However, its overgrowth can lead to yield loss.Regulating the growth of peach trees is challenging.
Spinocerebellar Ataxias: from Pathogenesis to Recent Therapeutic Advances
Spinocerebellar ataxia is a phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous group of autosomal dominant-inherited degenerative disorders.
Molecular Targets Associated with Ulcerative Colitis and the Benefits of Atractylenolides-Based Therapy
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestines that can significantly impact quality of life and lead to various complications.
The Effects of Ozempic and Other Weight Loss Injections
They're described as wonder drugs for weight loss, but semaglutide — sold under the name Ozempic as a diabetes drug and, in a higher dose, under the name Wegovy as a weight loss drug — and other weight loss injections have a dark side. Semaglutide — the active ingredient in not only Ozempic
Low-dose-rate induces more severe cognitive impairment than highdose-rate in rats exposed to chronic low-dose γ-radiation
Background: Owing to the long penetration depth of gamma (γ)-rays, individuals working in ionizing radiation environments are chronically exposed to low-dose γradiation, resulting in cognitive changes. Dose rate significantly affects radiationinduced biological effects; however, its role in chronic low-dose γ-irradiation-induced cognitive impairment remains unclear. We aimed to investigate whether
How Do You Actually Fix Gut Health?
Gut health is incredibly important for our overall health and the state of our gut plays a huge role in how we respond to foods and the environment, how we absorb nutrients, hormone health, our energy and mood, systemic inflammation, and so much more. But instead of finding the root

Spatial-Temporal Comparison of Eph/Ephrin Gene Expression in Ocular Lenses from Aging and Knockout Mice
Cataracts, defined as any opacity in the transparent ocular lens, remain the leading cause of blindness and visual impairment in the world; however, the etiology of this pathology is not fully understood. Studies in mice and humans have found that the EphA2 receptor and the ephrin-A5 ligand play important roles
