by The Scripps Research Institute Scripps Research, Florida Neuroscience Professor Ron Davis, PhD, has discovered a mechanism underlying transient forgetting. Credit: Scripps Research In a landmark neurobiology study, scientists from Scripps Research have discovered a memory gating system that employs the neurotransmitter dopamine to direct transient forgetting, a temporary lapse of memory which spontaneously returns. The study adds a new pin to...

NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY IMAGE: The set of sensing signals collected for each patient were then analyzed using ML to screen the patient for PCa. Seventy-six urine samples were measured three times, thereby generating 912 biomarker signals or 228 sets of sensing signals. We used RF and NN algorithms to analyze the multimarker signals....
MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL BOSTON – Regular aspirin use has clear benefits in reducing colorectal cancer incidence among middle-aged adults, but also comes with some risk, such as gastrointestinal bleeding. And when should adults start taking regular aspirin and for how long? There is substantial evidence that a daily aspirin can reduce risk of colorectal cancer...
