A Stanford University–led study published December 2 in PNAS Nexus finds that gas and propane stoves expose millions of Americans to substantial indoor nitrogen dioxide levels, in many cases matching or exceeding outdoor pollution. According to the research, replacing gas with electric stoves could cut average nitrogen dioxide exposure nationwide by more than one quarter, with particularly large benefits for people in smaller homes, renters, and rural households.
Scientists at Stanford University have discovered that hyperactivity in the brain's reticular thalamic nucleus may cause autism-like behaviors in mice. By suppressing this overactivity with drugs or neuromodulation, symptoms were reversed in mouse models. This finding suggests potential new therapeutic approaches overlapping with epilepsy treatments.
