The researchers discovered that the compound benzyloxy-cyclopentyladenosine was a potent painkiller in test model systems. A promising new non-opioid painkiller (analgesic) has been discovered, with…
The study found that social isolation is directly associated with later dementia. Social isolation was found to be an independent risk factor for dementia. According…
Two semantic memory search processes that are important in creativity have been discovered by researchers. How can we use knowledge exploration to spark creativity? We…
Research challenges the conventional theory that the transition from foraging to farming drove the development of complex, hierarchical societies by creating agricultural surplus, finds the…
