Ants' behaviour does not change as temperature rises: Study
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
In a recent study, researchers at North Carolina State University discovered that ants did not modify their behaviour in response to rising temperatures and remained in suboptimal microhabitats even when ideal ones were there. The discovery shows that ants may be unable to change their behav

Study reveals neighbourhood features that encourage walking, cycling
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
According to a global survey of nearly 40,000 adults, how people perceive their own neighbourhoods may have a lot to do with whether they choose to walk or cycle. According to Scott Lear, a health sciences professor at Simon Fraser University, those who walk more than 150 minutes each week f

Tumultuous migration on the edge of the hot Neptune desert: Research
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
All kinds of exoplanets orbit very close to their star. Some look like the Earth, others like Jupiter. Very few, however, are similar to Neptune. Why this anomaly in the distribution of exoplanets? Researchers from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the National Centre of Competence in Res

Study reveals key aspect of mechanism of gene expression regulation
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Despite the fact that they both develop in the same person and share the same genes, skin cells and brain cells are clearly distinct. They differ because each cell type expresses a different set of genes than the others. Cellular mechanisms that tightly regulate gene expression make this pos

Study reveals how Huntington's disease affects different neurons
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Neurons in the striatum, a part of the brain affected by Huntington's disease, are among the most severely affected. The degeneration of these neurons contributes to patients' loss of motor control, which is one of the disease's major symptoms.

High-frequency brain wave patterns in motor cortex can predict upcoming mo
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
In a new study published on January 16 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Hatsopoulos and his team have found evidence that the brain does indeed use the spatial organization of high frequency propagating waves of neuronal activity during movement.
