NEURAL PATHWAYS AND PATTERNS ARE LINKED TO TUMOR GROWTH10

Magnon and Hondermarck's study in Nature Reviews Cancer explores the concept of "neural addiction" in cancer. The research dives into the neural mechanisms underlying cancer progression, highlighting the critical role of neural signaling pathways in tumor development.

OBESITY IS LINKED TO AMYGDALA NETWORKS AND CORTISOL LEVELS11

OBESITY IS LINKED TO AMYGDALA NETWORKS AND CORTISOL LEVELS11

Martin-Perez et al.'s study in the International Journal of Obesity investigates the relationship between amygdala networks, cumulative cortisol levels, and explores how stress and dietary patterns influence weight management.

BINAURAL BEATS HAVE EFFECTS ON COGNITION, ANXIETY REDUCTION, AND PAIN PERCEPTION12

BINAURAL BEATS HAVE EFFECTS ON COGNITION, ANXIETY REDUCTION, AND PAIN PERCEPTION12

Garcia-Argibay et al. conducted a meta-analysis on binaural auditory beats, finding efficacy in cognition, anxiety reduction, and pain perception. The study, published in Psychological Research, highlights the potential benefits of binaural beats on psychological and physiological factors.

BINAURAL BEATS AFFECT THE BRAIN'S MEMORY AND ATTENTION CIRCUITS13

BINAURAL BEATS AFFECT THE BRAIN'S MEMORY AND ATTENTION CIRCUITS13

Basu and Banerjee's meta-analysis and systematic review, published in Psychological Research, explore the potential of binaural beats for memory and attention enhancement. The study suggests promising insights into the cognitive benefits of binaural beats intervention.

Waveforms affect neural stem cells and DNA14

Waveforms affect neural stem cells and DNA14

A study conducted by NASA revealed that specific electromagnetic field signals effectively activate neural stem cells, resulting in a remarkable 400% increase in stem cell growth. Additionally, the study found significant improvements in DNA, with 175 aging genes being suppressed and 150 growth and cellular proliferation genes being amplified.
