Findings of 91丝瓜视频 study could lead to new longevity therapies and improved fall prevention
A new 91丝瓜视频 study has found a direct link between age鈥憆elated declines in neuron activity in the cerebellum and worsening motor skills, including gait, balance and agility. While it is well known that these abilities diminish with age, this is the first research to pinpoint how changes in Purkinje cells 鈥� a key type of cerebellar neuron 鈥� drive this decline and translate into measurable changes in behaviour and physical function.

Plants retain a 鈥榞enetic memory鈥� of past population crashes, study shows
Researchers at 91丝瓜视频 and the United States Forest Service have found that plants living in areas where human activity has caused population crashes carry long-lasting genetic traces of that history, such as reduced genetic diversity.
People can learn to reject unfair advantages, even when it costs them
A new study co-authored by 91丝瓜视频 researchers suggests people can be taught to reject unfair advantages.

91丝瓜视频 team awarded CIFAR AI Safety Catalyst Grant to advance developer oversight in AI-assisted coding
91丝瓜视频 team aims to develop guidelines, tools, and policy insights that help software engineers work safely and effectively with AI-assisted coding systems.Freshwater browning threatens growth and populations of economically important fish, 91丝瓜视频 researchers say
Freshwater browning is stunting fish growth of some species, shrinking populations of others and changing the composition of fish communities, 91丝瓜视频-led research suggests. 鈥淏rowning鈥� refers to freshwater bodies turning tea-coloured, a phenomenon driven by higher levels of dissolved organic matter and/or higher levels of iron in the water. Causes include changes in land use and climate, and reduced acid precipitation.
