Neuroplasticity describes the brain’s ability to reorganize and rewire its neural connections, enabling it to adapt and function in ways that differ from its prior state. The brain reorganizes and grows new neural connections in response to learning new skills, experiencing environmental changes, recovering from injuries, or adapting to sensory or cognitive deficits.

In biology, homeostasis is the state of steady internal physical and chemical conditions maintained by living organisms. The body’s ability to maintain homeostasis is a critical function. The body has many aspects that it maintains using homeostatic control mechanisms including: optimal temperature, fluid balance, cerebrospinal fluid, pH of extracellular fluid, concentrations of oxygen, carbon dioxide, sodium (continued)

🦟 Canadian scientists pooled and re-analysed the data from 11 previous studies on links between pesticide exposure (including herbicides and insecticides) and motor neuron disease, finding that exposure was linked to a 60-70% increase in the risk of men developing the most common form, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The team says that, compared with no exposure, exposure to herbicides was linked to a 70% increase in a man's risk of developing the disease, and exposure to either insecticides or fungicides was linked with a 60% increase in risk. Interestingly, the researchers point out that there was no increased risk seen in women. It's important to note, the authors say, that this kind of study is limited by the quality of the original studies it is based on, and does not prove the pesticides caused the disease, just that the two may be linked.

Australian scientists from The University of Queensland, RMIT University, University of Sydney and Adelaide University have offered commentary on the research.

The Great Oxygenation Event (GOE) was a time interval during the Earth’s Paleoproterozoic era (2,500 to 1,600 million years ago) when the Earth experienced a rise in the concentration of free oxygen from practically none. The GOE is inferred to have been caused by cyanobacteria, which evolved chlorophyll-based photosynthesis that releases dioxygen as a waste byproduct of water photolysis. (continued)

📺 UK scientists investigated the effects of increasing screen use on children's psychosocial development among 2,598 kids who began the study aged five and stuck with it through to age 15. After accounting for family functioning, the team says they found no links between screen use duration and developmental difficulties at age five or ten, and a link with increased difficulties at age 15 was only seen among teenagers who spent the most time video gaming, and not for other types of screen use. They did find a link between early high screen use and difficulties at ten years old, but this had vanished by age 15, they say. The findings highlight the limitations of current guidelines, which focus on duration of screen use, the authors conclude.

But experts from across the country have mixed responses to the research - with some saying the results might provide some relief to parents, while others point out that while the study is solid, the data was collected in a time before iPads existed - meaning the childhood observed in the study no longer exists.

Is the placebo effect real? A placebo is a medicine or treatment intended to appear genuine, but actually have no pharmaceutical effect, such as inert sugar pills. The placebo effect is a genuine psychobiological phenomenon in which the mere expectation of improvement from a placebo can lead to some actual physiological changes. (continued)

What is the neuroendocrine system? Hormones play a very large part in the physiological processes of the body. The endocrine system consists of numerous glands throughout the body that produce and secrete hormones of diverse chemical structure, including peptides, steroids, and neuroamines. The nervous system and the endocrine system are linked in a process known as neuroendocrine integration. (continued)

What was the largest insect of all time?
Meganeuropsis permiana was considered the largest insect of all time, it was a dragonfly relative with an estimated wingspan of around 710 mm (28 in). It existed before the dinosaurs, during the Artinskian age of the Permian period, 290.1–283.5 million years ago. There are several theories as to why insects were so big during this time.

The Octopus nervous system is divided into three main parts: A central brain, two optic lobes, and the peripheral nervous system of the arms.
