In the more than six million years since people and chimpanzees split from their common ancestor, human brains have rapidly amassed tissue that helps decision-making and self-control.
The large prefrontal cortex provides evolutionary and cognitive advantages over non-human primates — but there’s a cost.
Did you know letting crushed garlic sit for 10+ minutes before cooking it helps preserve more of its healthy polyphenols from heat? I learned a bunch of similar tidbits while researching this article on the best longevity foods!
Want to know the best longevity foods that increase lifespan to add to your diet? We pored through hundreds of studies and made a list!
A new material developed by Tohoku University records and stores stress history in structures through a luminescent effect, offering an innovative solution to monitor aging infrastructure without needing power or complex equipment.
Identifying deteriorating infrastructure can be as challenging as fixing it. However, researchers at Tohoku University have made this process easier with the development of an innovative new material.
The material responds to mechanical stimuli by recording stress history through a luminescent effect called an afterglow. This information is stored for a long time, and by applying the material to the surfaces of structures, researchers can observe changes in the afterglow to determine the amount of stress the material has experienced.
This new technology will give doctors a closer look. Introducing Pillbot: a tiny disposable robot that you swallow to let doctors see inside your body. In a live demo on the TED Talk stage, creators Alex Luekbe and Vivek Kumbhari show how this pill-sized device navigates the inside of your stomach with a camera, giving a direct view of the entire organ — without the discomfort of invasive procedures — paving the way for further exploration of the human body. “Inside each and every one of us holds mysteries and wonders that if unlocked, lead to better health, performance and longevity,” says Luebke.

What does the future hold? What will become of this planet and its inhabitants in the centuries to come?
We are living in a historical period that sometimes feels like the prelude to something truly remarkable or terribly dire about to unfold.
This captivating video seeks to decipher the signs and attempt to construct plausible scenarios from the nearly nothing we hold in our hands today.
As always, it will be scientific discoveries leading the dance of change, while philosophers, writers, politicians, and all the others will have the seemingly trivial task of containing, describing, and guiding.
Before embarking on our journey through time, let me state the obvious: No one knows the future!
Numerous micro and macro factors could alter this trajectory—world wars, pandemics, unimaginable social shifts, or climate disasters.
Nevertheless, we’re setting off. And we’re doing so by discussing the remaining decades of the century we’re experiencing right now.

The brain undergoes dynamic functional changes with age1,2,3.
Analyses of neuroimaging datasets from 5,306 participants across 15 countries found generally larger brain-age gaps in Latin American compared with non-Latin American populations, which were influenced by disparities in socioeconomic and health-related factors.
