Scientists have discovered a 'neurobiotic sense' involving neuropods in the gut that detect microbial proteins like flagellin and send real-time signals to the brain via the vagus nerve, influencing appetite and potentially affecting mood and behavior. This finding highlights a direct neural pathway through which gut microbes can impact human behavior and health.
Researchers at SLAC have measured gold atoms at 19,000 Kelvin, surpassing previous theoretical limits without causing a catastrophe, challenging existing physics theories. Additionally, studies reveal distinct neural pathways for face recognition and gaze response, and a new gut-brain signaling pathway involving microbial proteins has been discovered, supporting the 'second brain' concept. Archaeological and biological research from the past week highlights significant advances across physics, neuroscience, and ancient history.
