Discovery Deepens Understanding Of Brain’s Sensory Circuitry
Because they provide an exemplary physiological model of how the mammalian brain receives sensory information, neural structures called “mouse whisker barrels” have been the subject of study by neuroscientists around the world for nearly 50 years. A new study shows that despite all that prior scrutiny, significant discoveries remain to be made. Specifically, researchers at Brown University have found a previously unknown set of matching barrel structures two layers deeper into the cortex than the whisker barrels, providing a more complete picture of the circuitry involved in handling sensory information.…

Women can process oxygen more quickly than men when they start to exercise, according to a new study from the University of Waterloo. Quick oxygen uptake places less strain on the body’s cells and is considered an important measure of aerobic fitness. “The findings are contrary to the popular assumption that men’s bodies are more naturally athletic,” said Thomas Beltrame, lead author on the study. The study compared oxygen uptake and muscle oxygen extraction between 18 young men and women of similar age and weight during treadmill exercise. Women consistently…

Read MoreBeards Keep You Healthy And Handsome, Research Indicates
Despite claims that beards are “over” or that they simply “aren’t cool anymore,” the fuzzy face remains popular with British men – and there are hidden benefits. Not only have beards been scientifically proven to make men more attractive, research has unveiled that the grizzly beards boast a big health benefit too. Beards can protect you from 90-95 per cent of harmful UV rays with a UPF (ultraviolet protection factor) of up to 21, a study by professors at The University of Queensland has previously revealed, and experts have backed up the findings to The Independent. “While beards will…
