Some people with epilepsy also experience memory and learning issues, as well as depression or anxiety. A study in Australia screened people for these conditions at a seizure clinic, before anti-seizure medications had been prescribed. Compared with the control group, the people at the first seizure clinic had higher rates of cognitive and neuropsychological issues.

Prostate cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in men (behind skin cancer), with varying levels of aggressiveness. It鈥檚 also the second leading cause of cancer death, behind only lung cancer. A new study led by Yale Cancer Center researchers at Yale School Medicine found a substantial increase in the adoption of active surveillance (AS) and watchful waiting (WW) treatment strategies over the past decade 鈥� an encouraging trend for men seeking less invasive treatment options.

Protons and neutrons鈥搆nown collectively as nucleons鈥揳re both the building blocks of matter, but one of these particles has received a bit more attention in certain types of nuclear physics experiments. Until now. New results published in Physical Review Letters describe a first-time direct glimpse of the internal structure of the neutron thanks to the development of a special, 10-years-in-the-making detector installed in Experimental Hall B at Jefferson Lab.

A recent study has unraveled the intricate cellular blueprint behind the iconic fragrance of Prunus mume flowers. Using state-of-the-art single-cell RNA sequencing, researchers have constructed a high-resolution map of gene expression within petal cells across blooming stages. This atlas not only identifies six key cell types but also pinpoints the genetic pathways responsible for floral scent production. These discoveries mark a significant leap forward in understanding floral scent biosynthesis and could open new doors to cultivating aromatic plant varieties and innovations in the fragrance industry.
