Mothers’ and babies’ brains ‘more in tune’ when the mother is happy
Mothers’ and babies’ brains can work together as a ‘mega-network’ by synchronizing brain waves when they interact.
Accelerating the development of new plant varieties
New methods that will make it significantly faster to produce gene-edited plants.
Degraded soils mean tropical forests may never fully recover from logging
Continually logging and re-growing tropical forests to supply timber is reducing the levels of vital nutrients in the soil, which may limit future forest growth and recovery, a new study suggests. This raises concerns about the long-term sustainability of logging in the tropics.
This brain circuit is responsible for regulating alcohol consumption
Discovery could lead to a better understanding of why some casual drinkers develop an alcohol use disorder.
How blue whales became the biggest animals to ever live?
Feeding strategy strongly influences their size cap, but all whales depend on rich ocean resources to be big.
Maxwell’s electromagnetism extended to smaller scales

Research has revealed how grape pests sniff the berries
Study investigates how these pests find their target amid a sea of other plants in the landscape.
How the brain produces cognition is finally understood?
Neural activity in rat orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is instead highly structured: single-neuron activity co-varies with an individual variable.
