MUSIC PLAYING IN YOUR HEAD
[image: Image shows a keyboard and a brain.] THAT MUSIC PLAYING IN YOUR HEAD *Summary: As we imagine music in our heads, our auditory cortex and other brain regions process auditory information in the same way as if we are really listening to sounds, a new study reports.* *Source: EPFL.* *Researchers at EPFL can now see what happens in our brains when we hear music in our heads. The researchers hope that in time their findings will be used to help people who have lost the ability to speak.* When we listen to music, different parts of our brain process different information – such as hi... mais »

Science biases
BIOLOGY SCIENCE PRACTICEThe Trouble With Scientists [image: Ball_BR-1]How one psychologist is tackling human biases in science. BY PHILIP BALLILLUSTRATION BY CARMEN SEGOVIA NOVEMBER 2, 2017 Sometimes it seems surprising that science functions at all. In 2005, medical science was shaken by a paper with the provocative title “Why most published research findings are false.”1 Written by John Ioannidis, a professor of medicine at Stanford University, it didn’t actually show that any particular result was wrong. Instead, it showed that the statistics of reported positive findings was... mais »

Triglycerides
Triglycerides Test [image: Email this page to a friend] [image: Print] [image: Facebook] [image: Twitter] [image: Google+] What is a Triglycerides Test? A triglycerides test measures the amount of triglycerides in your blood. Triglycerides are a type of fat in your body. If you eat more calories than you need, the extra calories are changed into triglycerides. These triglycerides are stored in your fat cells for later use. When your body needs energy, triglycerides are released into your bloodstream to provide fuel for your muscles to work. If you eat more calories than you burn off, ... mais »

Scientists Solve a Dengue Mystery: Why Second Infection Is Worse than First Antibodies from a first bout can raise the risk of more severe disease if the virus is contracted later - By Helen Branswell, STAT on November 5, 2017 For decades there has been a counterintuitive and hotly debated theory about dengue infections: that antibodies generated by a previous bout of dengue could actually put a person at risk of more severe disease if they contracted the virus a second time. And now American and Nicaraguan scientists have published evidence that may silence the skeptics. Antibod... mais »
