According to an article published in Science Advances, researchers from the HUN-REN BRC Institute of Biophysics and Semmelweis University Heart and Vascular Centre found that DMT reduces the harmful effects of stroke in animal models and cell culture experiments. A solution from nature in the spotlight …

Summary: Researchers have pinpointed specific brain cells that control how animals react to social defeat, offering new insight into the biology of dominance and submission. In male mice, neurons in the dorsomedial striatum—known as cholinergic interneurons—were found to regulate the “loser effect,” where past defeats lower an individual’s future social rank. When these neurons were removed, mice stopped exhibiting submissive …

Clusters of tiny holes or bumps can spark strong aversion in people with trypophobia, a condition researchers link more to disgust and fear than real threat. Common textures, such as coral or seed pods, can evoke strong reactions, although the classification of trypophobia is still debated. Experts point to disease-avoidance instincts and visual triggers, and many viral “trypophobia skin” images …
