Chinese scientists transplant human brain cells to mice, boosting pleasure levels

Image
  Chinese scientists have found a way to turn human stem cells into dopamine-producing brain cells, transplanting them into mice and helping reduce depressive behaviour and boost pleasure. When the engineered neuron-like cells were grafted into depression-model mice, they helped lessen symptoms like anxiety and resignation while increasing feelings of enjoyment. The development has the potential to be employed as a therapy to treat neuropsychiatric disorders by directly targeting and repairing parts of the brain involved in mood regulation. “This study provides proof-of-concept evidence supporting the use of cell therapy to treat psychiatric disorders by specifically reconstructing dysfunctional neural circuits,” the researchers said in a paper published in the peer-reviewed journal Cell Stem Cell on August 11. Major depressive disorder ranks among the top contributors to global disease, affecting hundreds of millions of people around the world. Some experience treatment-resistant ...

Extreme heat is threatening tropical birds, even in untouched forests, scientists warn

Image
  From the rainforests of Central and South America to the savannas of northern Australia, the world’s equatorial regions are home to thousands of unique bird species, from macaws to toucans to hummingbirds, who thrive in hot and humid environments. But as climate change accelerates, tropical regions are seeing ten times the number of dangerously hot days than they did 40 years ago, threatening the survival of some of the world’s most colorful birds, new research shows. Between 1950 and 2020, extreme heat events reduced tropical bird populations by 25% to 38%, according to a study published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution. 📌 More Info: 🌐 Visit: https://inventionawards.org/award-nomination/?ecategory=Awards&rcategory=Awardee 📝 Register: https://inventionawards.org/award-registration/ 📧 Contact: contact@inventionawards.org 📲 Get Connected: 🔹 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php 🔹 Twitter: https://x.com/Scitentist55046 🔹 Pinterest: https://in.pint...

After Sputnik’s launch, many Americans began to think more seriously about science and technology. Schools added courses on subjects like chemistry, physics and calculus. Universities and corporations took government grants and invested them in scientific research and development. And the federal government itself formed new agencies, such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Department of Defense’s Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), to develop space-age technologies such as rockets, weapons and computers. Unlike technologies such as the phonograph or the safety pin, the internet has no single “inventor.” Instead, it has evolved over time. The internet got its start in the United States in the late 1960s as a military defense system in the Cold War. For years, scientists and researchers used it to communicate and share data with one another. Today, we use the internet for almost everything, and for many people it would be impossible to imagine lif...

🤖 What is Robotics?

Image
  Robotics is a multidisciplinary field at the intersection of mechanical engineering, electronics, computer science, and artificial intelligence. It focuses on the design, construction, programming, and application of robots —machines capable of carrying out complex tasks automatically or semi-autonomously. From humanoid robots that mimic human gestures and speech, to industrial arms used in manufacturing, robotics plays a crucial role in modern technology. Robots are employed across diverse fields such as healthcare (surgical robots), space exploration (rovers), agriculture (automated harvesters), military (unmanned drones), and even personal assistants (like home-cleaning robots). The evolution of robotics is closely tied to machine learning and sensor technologies , enabling robots to not only follow instructions but also adapt to their environment. As we move into the era of Industry 5.0 and smart automation , robotics continues to transform the way we live and work—cr...
