A National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded study has found that an emerging class of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs suppress eating for pleasure, or hedonic feeding, in mice by modulating a reward circuit deep within the brain.

A new trial will test whether a tool that harnesses Apple Watch health data and artificial intelligence can help protect children undergoing cancer treatment from infections.

Artificial intelligence and digital technologies are rapidly transforming the way people learn – from schools and universities to professional training and lifelong education. They enable more personalized learning experiences, support learners and educators alike, and open up entirely new approaches to teaching and instruction. Yet their effective and responsible use requires expertise that is still rarely taught in a systematic way. This is the starting point for the new master’s program “AI and Digital Technology in Learning and Instruction” (ALI) at Goethe University Frankfurt. The interdisciplinary, research-oriented program prepares students for scientific, strategic, and applied roles at the intersection of artificial intelligence, digital technologies, and education.

A new study from the University of Copenhagen explores how dog owners’ ethical views on animals are reflected in the training methods they use. The findings may give dog owners new insight into why they choose certain training approaches over others.

Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to help scientists accelerate drug discovery and search for new treatments. But for AI tools to work effectively, researchers need to know whether they can be validated and applied in real-world situations. A team at the University of South Florida is taking a step in that direction by merging AI and immunology in ways that could enhance oncology treatment and the development of new drugs and vaccines.
