Washington, Sept 6 : Scientists have for long debated whether the adult brain has the ability to change like the child's brain. Now, a new study has confirmed that this does indeed happen.

New York : Inhaling fumes while micro waving popcorn appear to cause harm, a leading lung expert has warned.
The food-flavouring fumes contain a butter-flavour chemical called diacetyl used by some of the companies who produce microwave popcorn. This chemical when inhaled appears to cause this harm, the expert said.

Washington, Sept 6 : A research suggests that mobiles should be kept at least one meter away from hospital beds because they can cause electromagnetic interference (EMI) that may interrupt, obstruct, or otherwise degrade or limit the effective performance of critical care equipment.

Scientists verified that electromagnetic interference (EMI) incidents from second and third generation mobile phones happened at a mere three-centimetre distance.

Washington, Sept 6: A new study has found that mice genetically engineered to have Alzheimer's disease suffer silent seizures which may occur due to cellular changes.

The cellular changes are a result of excess accumulations of the protein amyloid beta.
