Bacteria Silently Priming Children for Colorectal Cancer

As mice learned a new behavior, researchers closely tracked synaptic connections (depicted here as small protrusions) on the dendrites of neurons.

Neurons Break Rules During Learning Process

This figure shows how JRT was designed by modifying LSD's structure. The images compare the chemical structures of related compounds and show how JRT binds to the brain's serotonin receptor (5-HT2AR) differently than LSD does. While JRT fits into the same receptor pocket as LSD, it can't form certain hydrogen bonds that LSD makes, which is why JRT doesn't cause hallucinations. Computer models predict that JRT and LSD attach to the receptor in similar ways, but JRT's nitrogen atom sits slightly farther from key parts of the receptor.RetryClaude can make mistakes.

Tiny Tweak to LSD Molecule Creates Powerful Treatment for Brain Disorders Without Hallucinations

New research from UC San Diego provides the most comprehensive look yet at how the rapid expansion of sports betting venues, particularly online, is driving record increases in gambling addiction across the United States.

The NeuRRAM chip is not only twice as energy efficient as state-of-the-art, it's also versatile and delivers results that are just as accurate as conventional digital chips.

Brain-Inspired Chips Could Slash AI’s Soaring Energy Appetite

Using patient data from several banks of genomics data, researchers at UC San Diego were able to make similar predictions of aging using either mutations or epigenetic modifications. Their results reveal a common link between two separate but equally prominent theories of aging.
