Rewriting the evolutionary history of critical components of the nervous system

The study shows that the Shaker family of ion channels were present in microscopic single cell organisms well before the common ancestor of all animals and thus before the origin of the nervous system.

Нас всех заменит ИИ, или как это на самом деле?

Последние два года индустрия разработки меняется быстрее, чем за предыдущие двадцать лет. Почти каждую неделю появляются новые ИИ-модели, ИИ IDE и кодинг-агенты. Одни говорят, что это очередной пузырь. Другие уверены, что профессия программиста исчезнет уже через несколько лет.За последние полгода мне довелось использовать AI практически во всех своих проектах. В какой-то момент я поймал себя на мысли, что почти перестал писать код руками. Именно тогда я задумался: действительно ли ИИ... Read more

Creatine is best known as a muscle-building supplement, but scientists are now investigating whether it could also help treat depression by boosting the brain's energy supply. A new review examined five randomized clinical trials involving 238 participants and found mixed results. Two studies, both involving women with major depressive disorder, reported that adding creatine to standard treatment improved symptoms, while three others found no meaningful benefit. Read more

A surprising discovery is overturning a long-held assumption about how the brain’s movement center works. Researchers found that two key cerebellar cell types—thought to be tightly linked—often don’t behave in predictable ways, even though one directly influences the other. The finding suggests scientists may have been relying on the wrong signals when studying disorders such as dystonia, ataxia, and tremor. Read more
