Challenging assumptions about infant memory, a novel functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study shows that babies as young as 12 months old can encode memories, researchers report.
 
 
 Marathon running temporarily reduces brain myelin levelsMarathon running temporarily reduces brain myelin levels
 
Marathon running causes a temporary decline in brain myelin content, but levels return to normal within two months. This reversible change may reflect the brain tapping into myelin lipids as an emergency energy source during extreme exertion.

Study reveals factors affecting patient experience in emergency departmentsA large scale study by researchers from the Regenstrief Institute and the Indiana University School of Medicine has found that patient pain upon arrival to the Emergency Department (ED) as well as the use of hallway beds and radiology studies in the ED are associated with patient experience, although not in the same ways.
 
 
 Multi-modal imaging reveals complex brain alterations associated with autism spectrum disorder
 
Multi-modal imaging reveals complex brain alterations associated with autism spectrum disorderAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a growing global concern, affecting approximately 2.8% of children in the United States and 0.7% in China. ASD is characterized by challenges in social interaction, communication difficulties, and repetitive behaviors, making early diagnosis critical for improving outcomes.

New trial aims to make rectal cancer more responsive to radiationCity of Hope, one of the largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations in the U.S. with its National Medical Center named top 5 in the nation for cancer by U.S. News & World Report, has opened a phase 1 trial seeking to one day transform rectal cancer from a mostly radiation-resistant disease to one that can be cured using radiation and chemotherapy.
 
 
 Heart structure changes and their impact on organ function
 
Heart structure changes and their impact on organ functionAnnouncing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. The heart is the central organ of the human circulatory system. Both congenital and acquired structural changes in the heart can lead to hemodynamic alterations affecting the function of various organs, including the brain.
 
 
 Negative stiffness in calf muscles enhances high-speed hopping
 
Negative stiffness in calf muscles enhances high-speed hoppingResearchers at the University of Tokyo reveal the way our legs adapt to fast movements. When people hop at high speeds, key muscle fibers in the calf shorten rather than lengthen as forces increase, which they call "negative stiffness." This counterintuitive process helps the leg become stiffer, allowing for faster motion. The findings could improve training, rehabilitation, and even the design of prosthetic limbs or robotic exoskeletons.
