A study reveals how music with rapid modulations enhances focus and attentional brain networks. Using EEG and MRI scans, researchers found this music stimulates natural brain rhythms, improving attention, especially in individuals with ADHD.

Research highlights the therapeutic potential of targeting cannabinoid receptors to counter memory impairment in early neurodegenerative diseases. A synthetic compound, WIN55.212-2, improved memory in rodent models by activating cannabinoid receptors

A new study shows people whose childhoods featured abuse, neglect or domestic abuse carry a significantly increased risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis in later life - and the association is more pronounced in women than in men.
