Corn, or maize as it is otherwise known, is a major food source of the world, and now a whole new aspect of corn has been discovered. The implications of the discovery are large for the agricultural community as well as for the world where so many depend on corn for sustenance and food.

Gut bacteria help brain cell growth
May 11, 2025 • 10:30 AM
Antibiotics have been shown to have a profound effect on the growth of new brain cells and memory retention in mice.
A recent study has shown that antibiotics can wipe out good gut bacteria and that they can also prevent the growth of new brain cells. There is little previous evidence showing links between the brain and bacteria in the gut.
A new study by scientists at the University of Magdeburg and the Max-Delbrueck Centre for Molecular Medicine, Berlin, found that prolonged antibiotic use...

May 11, 2025 • 10:30 AM

When we retain data such as where an object was positioned or what was the place where something happened, we are 'learning'. This creates what is known as an episodic memory. The area in the brain in charge...
