Imagine yourself passing through a spacious library with books holding your lifetime experiences, thoughts, and memories on their pages. This repository is organised by a web of connections between each section, so no detail is missed. These are our “cognitive maps"—the structured internal representations of the relationships between things. This grand library seems to lose its once-clear boundaries as schizophrenia, a neuropsychiatric disorder affecting millions around the world, blurs the bou

While the bacteria in the intestine are helpful for digesting food and fighting infections, they have long been suspected to play an essential role in triggering rheumatoid arthritis. This chronic inflammatory disorder affects the joints.
Dementia, which includes Alzheimer's disease, currently affects around 1.8 million people in Germany. The exact cause has not yet been clarified, but genetic factors play a significant role in the development of the disease. Most previous analyses aimed at the identification of novel Alzheimer's gen...
Happiness has become today’s fast-paced pursuit. People often relate their contentment from economic success to personal achievements to tangible outcomes. And suppose that the secret of happy life is not about the money that you earn, but about the social and not economic factors, which envelop you...
A clinical trial from the United Kingdom suggests that doctors can safely reduce radiotherapy exposure time for prostate cancer treatment by administering higher radiation doses.
A new study spearheaded by the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Medicine lab has unveiled a previously unrecognized role for an essential nutrient in shaping the cellular landscape for one of the body's first lines of defense against infection, immune cells called macrophages.
Researchers have used CRISPR gene editing, stem cells and human neurons to study the impact of a gene that is commonly mutated in autism. This new study, published today in The American Journal of Human Genetics, ties mutations in the gene CHD8 with a broad spectrum of molecular and cellular defects...
Smoking, which impacts millions of people worldwide, is one of the pervasive habits that call for effective interventions aimed at cutting down cigarette consumption. The University of Missouri School of Medicine recently discovered a breakthrough solution to help smokers control their cravings in a...
Researchers at Mays Cancer Center at The University of Texas Health Science at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio) have identified protein markers that could signal for early development of metastatic lung cancer, providing possibilities for a new treatment.
Everybody talks about the numerous benefits that come with exercising, but just how often do people need to exercise for them to experience these benefits? It’s no surprise if you have been thinking about this too. When it comes to the best workout plan as a medical student, one has to argue over th...
Edith Cowan University research revealed that muscle strength benefits are seen with consistent, short exercise sessions. Participants performing a three-second eccentric bicep contraction thrice weekly saw strength improvements. Daily 20-minute exercises might be more beneficial than a single 2-hour weekly session. Regularity, even in short durations, is key to health benefits.
The notion that some level of microbial exposure might reduce our risk of developing allergies has arisen over the last few decades and has been termed the hygiene hypothesis.

Today. we all live in eras where there is an ocean of convenient appliances, gadgets & household things meant for the sole purpose of making our lives easy. But there can be hidden dangers underneath the charm of such mundane objects. There’s nothing surprising about some of these types of risks — while others might lurk in the shadows. In this blog post, I am going to talk about some of the everyday used household items that are hurting our health, silently. 1. Plastic Containers and Bottles Pl
Theobromine is the main poisonous substance in chocolate. Theobromine is thought to have an LD50 of about 1,000 mg per kilogram of body weight in people.
On average, 100 grams of dark chocolate contain 150 mg of theobromine, however individual results may vary. Theoretically, an individual weighing roughly 70 kg (154 lbs) would have an LD50 of around 70,000 mg of theobromine. One would need to eat roughly 467 kg (1030 pounds) of dark chocolate to attain this amount. That is a huge sum that is nearly unattainable!
But long before consuming so much, one would experience various health problems brought on by consuming too many calories, sugars, and fats, as well as other possible toxins.
The amount of flavonol in chocolate varies significantly depending on the chocolate's kind and processing. While milk chocolate and white chocolate also contain some flavonols, dark chocolate has the largest concentration. A high-quality dark chocolate will typically contain 50 to 170 mg of flavonols per 100 grams.
You may strive for a daily flavonol intake of 200 mg if you want to achieve a possible heart-healthy level. According on the flavonol content of the chocolate, this implies you would need to eat between 120 and 400 grams of dark chocolate.
Keep in mind that the amount of flavonols in chocolate chips varies. You'd need to know the precise flavonol content of the chocolate chips you're ingesting to get an accurate figure.
Haha, several hundred servings of cocoa a day? Sounds like you've got your flavanol source locked down! 😄 But in all seriousness, it's fascinating how different foods can interact and affect the absorption of beneficial compounds
