Scientists identify new protein role in brain development

A recent study has revealed how a specific protein influences neural connections during early brain growth. Researchers from the University of California found that disrupting this protein leads to impaired synapse formation in animal models. The discovery could pave the way for better understanding neurodevelopmental disorders.

Evolution may explain why women outlive men

A new study suggests that the evolution of menopause plays a key role in women's longer lifespans compared to men. Researchers propose that post-reproductive life in women allows investment in grandchildren, contrasting with men's continued reproduction. This theory draws on data from hunter-gatherer societies and modern populations.
