The model mama, who is currently pregnant with twins, shut down a concerned “fan” on her Instagram who made an unnecessary comment about her stretch marks. Graham has kept fans and followers updated all throughout her pregnancy journey sharing beautiful bump photos and a few […]
Within the visual cortex of the adult brain, a small region is specialized to respond to faces, while nearby regions show strong preferences for bodies or for scenes such as landscapes. Neuroscientists have long hypothesized that it takes many years of visual experience for these areas to develop in children. However, a new MIT study […]
If you're reading this, I owe you an apology. About six years ago, there was a sudden rise in the number of products that claimed to optimize the skin's microbiome, the collection of microorganisms living on its surface.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – A new study helps pinpoint which patients with COVID-19 may benefit from extended thromboprophylaxis after they leave the hospital. Among 2,832 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in Detroit’s Henry Ford Health System, venous thromboembolic events after discharge occurred more often in those with a history of venous thromboembolism, peak dimerized plasmin […]
Research suggested that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be at least partly caused by differences in the composition of the gut microbiota, based on the observation that certain types of microbes are more common in people with autism.

Neuronal assemblies are formed via the repetitive activation of subpopulations of neurons to guide learning and behavior. Technical advances have made it possible to artificially induce such assemblies, although the method of optimizing the various parameters remain to be identified. In a new report now published in Science Advances, Sadra Sadeh and Claudia Clopath at […]
