Fresh look at mysterious Nasca lines in Peru: Using a taxonomic approach, scientists have re-identified the huge birds drawn on the desert plains of Peru as hermits or pelicans The lines and geoglyphs of Nasca and Palpa are located some 400 kilometers south of Lima, Peru and form a World Heritage Site covering an area of about 450 square kilometers..
Processed foods and effect on developing fetus' brain: Autism link? Saleh Naser, Latifa Abdelli and UCF undergraduate research assistant Aseela Samsam have identified the molecular changes that happen when neural stem cells are exposed to high levels of an acid commonly found in processed foods.
How information is like snacks, money, and drugs -- to your brain: Researchers demonstrate common neural code for information and money; both act on the brain's dopamine-producing reward system A new study by researchers at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business has found that information acts on the brain's dopamine-producing reward system in the same way as money or food.
Human migration in Oceania recreated through paper mulberry genetics: Humans carried the plant, used to make barkcloth, as they colonized new islands across Oceania The colonization of the remote, long-uninhabited Pacific islands has fascinated early European explorers, current scientists and members of Pacific Island communities today.

Could climate change make Siberia more habitable? A study team from the Krasnoyarsk Federal Research Center, Russia, and the National Institute of Aerospace, USA, used current and predicted climate scenarios to examine the climate comfort of Asian Russia and work out the potential for human settlement throughout the 21st century. They published their results today in Environmental
CRISPR baby mutation significantly increases mortality: Two copies of mutated CCR5 gene associated with lower survivability The researchers scanned more than 400,000 genomes and associated health records contained in a British database, UK Biobank, and found that people who had two mutated copies of the gene had a significantly higher death rate between ages 41 and 78 than those with one or no copies.
