Neuro-WiFi: A Novel Neuronal Connection Underlies the Potential Interventional Target

Neuro-WiFi, as a non-physical connection-related neural network that efficiently links various regions of the brain, facilitates swift transfer of information and fostering communication among neurons. It is a significant advancement in neuroscience, providing valuable understanding of the intricate connections between neurons and opening up possibilities for precise interventions. This unique neural connection entails the transfer of information between remote parts of the brain via a network resembling WiFi signal. Neuro-WiFi has the potential to greatly enhance our understanding of how information is processed and sent in the brain by facilitating fast and accurate communication over long distances. Envision the ability to modify the neuro-WiFi network to enhance cognitive performance or restore impaired neural circuits. Furthermore, this neuronal connection could have substantial ramifications for the development of therapeutic approaches to address neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s disease or epilepsy. Despite the remaining knowledge gaps around this remarkable phenomenon, through additional investigations, we believe that the mysteries of neuro-WiFi would be extensively uncovered and precise therapies that could profoundly transform our comprehension of brain function and enhance patient outcomes would be provided in the future. &nbsp

Suicide Prevention: A Must-Do Task

Suicide prevention requires a comprehensive and multi-dimensional approach that addresses the interplay of individual, social, and environmental factors contributing to suicidal behavior. How to prevent it is crucial and is a must-do task. It is critical to examine individual-level interventions such as mental health screenings and access to mental health services, as well as population-level strategies including awareness campaigns and public policy initiatives. Consequently, it is essential to emphasize the significance of fostering community support, strengthening protective factors, and promoting resilience to counteract suicide risk. Additionally, the role of education, stigma reduction, and collaboration between various stakeholders in implementing effective suicide prevention programs also play a pivotal part in it

Comparison of Neural Circuitry Mechanisms between Internet Game Addiction and Heroin Addiction

Internet game addiction and heroin addiction have many similar clinical manifestations, but whether they share similar neural mechanisms is yet clearly known. Based on MRI data, it was found that the two types of addictions have some damages in the same brain structure and function, and the four addiction-related circuits as cognitive control loop, reward prediction and pleasure loop, motivation drive and salience attribution loop, and learning and memory loop showed widespread and enhanced activation. However, the brain damage area of heroin addiction is biased towards the higher cognitive control circuit and reward circuit, and the scope of damage is wider showing the functional connectivity of the four circuits is reduced, while the brain damage of internet game addiction mainly occurs in relatively low-level memory-learning circuits and motivation circuits, and the scope of damage is also relatively narrow by indicating decreased functional connectivity only occurs between cognitive control and memory-learning circuits. This indicates that the neural mechanisms underlying the two types of addictive behaviors have both similarities and differences. This review compares above-mentioned four circuitry mechanisms between internet game addiction and heroin addiction to highlight the underlying neural similarities between them and provide insights into potential interventional strategies

Is Postoperative Pain a Mediator of Cancerous Mortality?

Postoperative pain is considered as a risk factor for the mortality of cancerous patients. Are there convincing evidence demonstrating the causality between them? It is hard to draw a conclusion from the currently available data. Pain itself is an immune suppressor and functions as a tumor-promoting mediator, but it is strongly associated with the pain intensity. The mild-to-moderate pain is a favorable factor to the recovery for patients from surgeries. Everything possesses dual facets: yin and yang balance system. What we need to do is how to take advantage of the favorable from both sides rather than debate which is superior to the other. Yes, even overbalance there, the key necessary for it is to taking measures to keep them on balance

Gut Microbiota: The Mastermind behind the Body’s Hidden Balance

The best manifestation of the effective functioning of numerous tissues and organs in the human body is the maintenance of biological homeostasis. The gut microbiota’s balance is a potentially irreplaceable intrinsic mechanism for maintaining a healthy body balance. Disease occurs spontaneously when the balance of cause and effect is disrupted. As a result, the question of how to preserve and foster this equilibrium is crucial

Earthquake: Why Can’t We Still Predict It and What Science Can Do?

Before the word “science” was created; people were curious upon the bases of the world and sought the possible explanation of it. That time the things the ancestors encountered were so complex that they could not decipher them in a reasonable way. However, the appearance of so-called science made all these things be changed. Till today, science makes our life change in an unprecedented speed. Facing today’s explosive information, we are filled with curiosity in accompany with knowledge-induced anxiety. When we walk forward more, we found far more things we do not know. In some areas, we have reached an advanced level such as in the field of outer space exploration, but in some others, like earthquake prediction, we are still there where we just started. Even a lot of entities provide us information about the happened earthquakes, whereas no one can tell us when it will be. In fact, it is really hard for science to give us the original answer “Why is it like that?” although we know something about the focused question. The only thing that science can do is justifying the theories using its own ways. It is understandable because science itself was a product of people’s thought, and it needs to be perfected per se

Could We Designate Long COVID a Syndrome?

Long COVID has been subject to growing examination as researchers and healthcare professionals strive to gain a deeper comprehension of its fundamental mechanisms and consequences. While syndromes often consist of a group of symptoms without a distinct underlying cause, Long COVID seems to be more intricate. Studies indicate that it could affect several organ systems and cause cellular-level harm, prompting specialists to propose that it be categorized as a syndrome rather than simple lingering consequences of the virus. However, further study needs to be conducted for determining whether there are distinctive characteristics that differentiate Long COVID as a distinct clinical entity from other post-viral conditions. Accurate identification of Long COVID will be essential in guiding treatment approaches and delivering appropriate therapy for patients who suffer from persistent symptoms after being infected with COVID-19

Challenge of Teaching Genetics at Early Stage

As a part of early science education, biogenetics is one of the critical components. Usually, the course is taught at the middle school at the earliest (Committee on the Science of Children Birth to Age 8, 2015). There may be specific difficulties for adolescent students who are first exposed to genetics knowledge, from cognition to knowledge reserve. In addition, understanding its basic concepts may require the lecturer to adopt certain methods and skills (Hirsh et al., 2020). Due to the abstract nature of genetics, this is more challenging for students of this age
