Aerobic exercise: a powerful ally in the fight against Alzheimer’s
Publicado em 16 janeiro 2025
Published in the journal Brain Research, the study highlights how physical activity not only protects healthy brain cells but also restores balance in the aging brain.
The research focused on the hippocampus, the brain region responsible for memory and learning, and measured the impact of aerobic exercise on key Alzheimer's markers: amyloid plaques, tau tangles, and iron accumulation in myelin-producing cells known as oligodendrocytes. These markers are central to Alzheimer's [...]

Understanding of early life ecosystems highlighted in MSU researcher’s new publication
Publicado em 16 agosto 2024STARKVILLE, Miss.-With a new understanding of past life on the planet through fossils, a Mississippi State biological sciences faculty member is helping researchers better predict Earth's future. In a new paper published this month in the esteemed peer-reviewed journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Donald L. Hall Professor of Biology Matthew Brown unearths a specific area of under-studied fossils: microbial eukaryotes-more specifically, testate amoebae from 750 million [...]ver notícia -
Climate change raised the odds of unprecedented wildfires in 2023-24
Publicado em 01 agosto 2024Unprecedented wildfires in Canada and parts of Amazonia last year were at least three times more likely due to climate change and contributed to high levels of CO2 emissions from burning globally. The State of Wildfires report, the first edition of a new systematic annual review, takes stock of extreme wildfires of the 2023-2024 fire season, explains their causes and assesses whether events could have been predicted. It also evaluates how the risk of similar events will change in future [...]ver notícia -
Virtual Reality May Enhance Learning Efficiency Over Real-World Environments, Says Drexel Study
Publicado em 13 maio 2024In the first study to consider brain activity during visuospatial problem-solving across immersive virtual reality (VR), 2-D computer screens and physical environments, researchers from Drexel’s School of Biomedical Engineering uncovered a surprising revelation – VR-based learning exhibited optimal neural efficiency, a measure that gauges the brain activity required to complete a unit task. This finding, published in the journal Sensors, reveals using virtual reality may foster more [...]ver notícia -
UL researchers partner on study revealing effectiveness of multimedia intervention in treating depression in older adults
Publicado emAn international study involving researchers at University of Limerick has shown that multimedia intervention delivered via WhatsApp can be effective for treating depression in older people. The pioneering international research trial, the results of which have just been published in the Nature Medicine Journal, developed and trialled a low-cost mobile messaging psychosocial intervention in socioeconomically deprived areas of Brazil. The PRODIGITAL-D controlled trial, a collaboration [...]ver notícia -
SP estuda nova metodologia para crescimento de árvores nativas e restauração florestal
Publicado em 13 janeiro 2024O tema da restauração florestal tem ganhado destaque nos últimos anos tanto na iniciativa privada e no mercado financeiro como na academia e entre governos, principalmente no caso do Brasil, que assumiu o compromisso, desde o Acordo de Paris, em 2015, de recuperar com floresta nativa 12 milhões de hectares, ou seja, praticamente o equivalente ao território da Coreia do Norte. No entanto, as iniciativas ainda dependem do caro processo de plantio de [...]ver notícia -
