All Posts Jun 10 Organic nitrogen in soil helps crop growth by jens wilkinson | Hot Off the Press Scientists used a multi-omics analysis to show that soil solarization helps crops grow because it increases organic nitrogen in the soil. May 12 Consciousness, brain connections, and the claustrum by amanda alvarez | Hot Off the Press Research shows that the claustrum acts as a ‘consciousness conductor’ that synchronizes and connects areas within the mouse brain. May 7 A new imaging biomarker for the aging brain by adam phillips | Hot Off the Press Enlarged ventricles is a sign of an aging brain. New research shows that this phenomenon can be predicted by lagging brain circulation that is detected by MRI.
