A research paper by scientists at Capital Medical University validates the necessity of integrating cognitive–motor strategies for the motor rehabilitation of PD and identifies novel neural markers for assessing treatment efficacy.

The new research paper, published on Jun. 19, 2025 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, presented neuroplasticity driven by attentional network activation and the dynamic reallocation of attentional resources are the core mechanisms by which short-term MIRT facilitates compensatory motor function and the necessity of developing intervention strategies that integrate cognitive–motor dual regulation.

In a paper published in SCIENCE CHINA Earth Sciences, the researchers combined Eulerian and Lagrangian methods to more accurately quantify surface eddy meridional heat transport (EHT) induced by both the stirring and trapping effects of mesoscale eddies. They find that stirring-induced surface EHT is 1–2 orders of magnitude larger than trapping-induced EHT throughout most of the global ocean. These results demonstrate that the horizontal stirring effect of mesoscale eddies is the dominant mechanism of EHT.

In an article published in the journal Kriminologie, a team of researchers from the universities of Castelló and Alicante suggest that the effects of underwater noise pollution should be included in international criminal and administrative law.

Anthropogenic noise can be not only a serious public health problem, but also a significant stressor for marine and terrestrial life. Scientific evidence has shown that there is a cause-and-effect relationship between underwater noise pollution and the development of some species, and although it has been identified by the World Health Organisation as one of the world's most important pollutants, comprehensive strategies to address its impact on the marine environment have only been developed in the last decade.

After analysing international legislation on the subject, the team believes that this type of pollution "needs to be addressed in a single but integrated approach" because even if the activities are authorised, their effects can be difficult to reverse. In their view, "the law must deal with the protection of the environment in a comprehensive manner" and develop a model of protection that includes administrative sanctions, but also criminal sanctions in very serious cases.

Fruit softening determines the texture, shelf life, and consumer appeal of grapes, yet its molecular regulation remains largely unknown. 

Haploid plants, which carry only a single set of chromosomes, are typically sterile, making them valuable but difficult to use in breeding. 

Theanine, a unique amino acid responsible for tea's refreshing taste and calming effect, plays a central role in determining tea quality.
