A new study shows a link between patient survival and changes in tumor cell mass after glioblastoma treatment.
Assistant professors Camilla Cattania and William Frank discuss the science behind the 2010 and 2021 earthquakes in Haiti.
The findings include signs of flash flooding that carried huge boulders downstream into the lakebed.
Researchers glean a more complete picture of a structure called the nuclear pore complex by studying it directly inside cells.
Dedicated circuits evaluate uncertainty in the brain, preventing it from using unreliable information to make decisions.
While the brain acquires resistance to continuous treatment with mGluR5 inhibitor drugs, lasting effects may still arise if dosing occurs intermittently and during a developmental-critical period.
We seem to be wired to calculate not the shortest path but the “pointiest” one, facing us toward our destination as much as possible.
When asked to classify odors, artificial neural networks adopt a structure that closely resembles that of the brain’s olfactory circuitry.
By combining chemotherapy, tumor injury, and immunotherapy, researchers show that the immune system can be re-engaged to destroy tumors in mice.
A network of West African Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) covers key sites used by green turtles, new research shows.
Educators should have not have ‘high’ confidence in the quality of existing relationship education programmes because there is a lack of robust evaluation, experts have warned.
This paper offers a systematic approach to quantifying the socio-economic role of forests for 'forest-dependent' communities.
Prior experiments with children across seven different societies have indicated U‑shaped age patterns in the likelihood of copying majority demonstrations.
ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE A new method developed at the University of Copenhagen has been used to identify more than 1,000 different types of bactericidal viruses in the human intestines. The researchers behind the new study believe the discovery may help fight antibiotic resistance.
CANCER Radiation is usually an effective treatment for cancer. Unfortunately, cancer cells are frequently able to defend themselves against the treatment. But now researchers from the University of Copenhagen have shown how cancer cells defend themselves, and their discovery may help ensure that this frontline treatment can save more lives.
Previous studies have demonstrated a correlation between longevity and brain size in a variety of taxa.
CELL BIOLOGY Researchers from the University of Copenhagen and Aalborg University presents a new study demonstrating that a small molecule in brain cells affects the level of hypocretin, which is responsible for making us feel awake during the day and tired at night. People with a genetic variation of this molecule have a higher risk of suffering from daytime sleepiness.
Forest loss due to anthropogenic activities is one of the main causes of plant and animal species decline.
Behavioral flexibility should, theoretically, be positively related to behavioral inhibition because one should need to inhibit a previously learned behavior to change their behavior when the task changes (flexibility).
In most bird species, females disperse prior to their first breeding attempt, while males remain close to the place they hatched.
