summary: The OpenScope program is investigating neural activity through four new projects, exploring topics such as the effects of psilocybin, perception of motion, recognition of visual textures, and subtle changes in appearance.By using advanced imaging techniques in mice, researchers aim to understand how the brain processes these complex functions. The program provides global access to neuroscience research data. Research findings may lead to advances in the understanding and treatment of brain disorders.Key Facts:Hallucinogenic Effects: They study how psilocybin affects brain activity at a cellular level.Visual: It explores how the brain processes the perception of movement and texture.Open Science: OpenScope provides…

UTEP researchers found that nanoplastics and PFAS chemicals significantly alter proteins essential to human development, such as breast milk and myoglobin, potentially causing developmental disorders and other health problems. These findings highlight the urgent need for safer alternatives and will inform future environmental policy.The UTEP study revealed that both nanoplastics and permanent chemicals alter important proteins in breast milk and infant formula.Researchers at the University of Texas at El Paso have made important advances in the study of nanoplastics and per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds (PFAS), also known as forever chemicals. Their work shows how these compounds can change the structure…

explore GLand sloths, musk oxen, kangaroos. They all suffered the same fate as the dodo and disappeared from the face of the earth. This is just a small fraction of the large mammals that no longer exist. Of the 57 species of large herbivores known to have existed 50,000 years ago, only 11 remain. That’s a staggering extinction rate of 81 percent.The remaining large herbivores, defined as large terrestrial mammals with an average adult weight of 2,200 pounds or more, include elephants, rhinos, giraffes, and hippos. Key Role They impact ecosystems from seed dispersal to landscape management. For example, through…
