    Parkinson’s reversal? One drug brings dying brain cells back to life

    July 4, 2025 - By 

    Putting the brakes on an enzyme might rescue neurons that are dying due to a type of Parkinson\’s disease that\’s caused by a single genetic mutation, according to a new Stanford Medicine-led study conducted in mice. The genetic mutation causes an enzyme called leucine-rich repeat kinase 2, or LRRK2, to be overactive. Too much LRRK2 enzyme activity changes the structure of brain cells in a way that disrupts crucial communication between neurons that make the neurotransmitter dopamine and cells in the striatum, a region deep in the brain that is part of the dopamine system and is involved in movement,…

    Weekly Forecast: June 30 – July 4, 2025 – A Countdown To Fireworks – ElsaElsa

    June 30, 2025 - By 

    Monday’s Virgo Moon moves through the middle of the Mercury-ruled sign, through the Moon’s south node. Sunny Leo Mercury moves away from opposition to Aquarius Pluto as Venus heads ever more closely into conjunction with Uranus in Taurus. A grounded, contemplative mood falls back on refining its position, and that position sparks the beginning of a revolution in values and desire. When you’ve had your outlook challenged, it’s natural to reshuffle your opinion cards, make new pairs and groupings, and maybe even discard a few. Rankings rise and fall. New values emerge, others recede. Overall, there’s a sense of general…

    Why cats prefer sleeping on their left side—and how it might help them survive

    June 26, 2025 - By 

    Cats prefer to sleep on their left side. This is the conclusion drawn by an international research team that analyzed several hundred YouTube videos of sleeping cats. The researchers see this bias as an evolutionary advantage because it favors hunting and escape behavior after waking up. The team from the University of Bari Aldo Moro (Italy), Ruhr University Bochum, Medical School Hamburg and other partners in Germany, Canada, Switzerland and Turkey report on the study in the journal Current Biology, published online on June 23, 2025. All animals are particularly vulnerable while sleeping. Cats sleep around 12 to 16 hours…
