The brain consists of several neurons that communicate with each other. Each neuron gathers its varied inputs and sends a spike to the neurons it connects. All high-order brain functions are built on the dynamics of such massive, intricate neural networks. In a new study, a group of scientists has experimentally demonstrated frequent periods of

Antidepressants are one of the most widely prescribed drugs in the global north. However, little is known about the health consequences of long-term treatment. Researchers from Bristol’s Centre for Academic Mental Health wanted to know if long-term antidepressant usage (over five and ten years) was linked to the development of six health issues: diabetes, high

Kicked quantum systems can display the emergence of dynamical localization, which restricts energy absorption and causes the breakdown of ergodicity, in contrast to classical driven systems, which display chaotic behavior and diffusive energy accumulation. It has long been unclear how dynamically localized states evolve when many-body interactions exist. A new study by the physicists at

The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are the two largest satellite galaxies of the Milky Way. As they are drawn in toward our galaxy, they have started to unravel, leaving behind trails of gaseous debris as they orbit one another. These dwarf galaxies are still intact and undergoing active star formation, which baffles astronomers. If
