During ketamine anesthesia, the brain’s nerve cells fall silent—as consciousness returns, they begin to reconnect. For the first time, researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) have shown that immune cells in the brain play a critical role in this process—with differences between female and male brains. The findings were published in Science Advances.
JMIR Publications released five feature News and Perspectives articles, covering the unexpected outcomes of social media regulations in Australia, China’s AI health landscape, and how digital innovations are being used to improve health outcomes across the United States.
A new study suggests that a soy-derived lysolecithin, LPC70, reduced high-salt diet (HSD)-induced hypertension, social behavior deficits, and object recognition memory impairment in mice. The benefits are associated with receptor-specific regulation in prostaglandin (PG) signaling. An increased production of arachidonic acid-derived PGs was also noted. The findings suggest LPC70 may serve as a functional food ingredient to mitigate HSD-associated cardiovascular and cognitive decline.
Mathematicians have shown that completely fair elections are – in a sense – impossible. No electoral system can guarantee both that local votes translate directly into local seats, and that total seat distribution matches overall vote shares: not without an indefinitely growing parliament.
A Stanford-led study showed that analyzing children’s speech could predict whether they developed mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety, six years later.
