Neuroscientists at The University of Queensland have uncovered how vitamin D deficiency affects developing neurons in schizophrenia, using new technology. Professor Darryl Eyles has built on past research out of his laboratory at the Queensland Brain Institute linking maternal vitamin D deficiency and brain development disorders, such as schizophrenia, to understand the functional changes taking place in the brain. Schizophrenia is associated with many developmental risk factors, both genetic and environmental. While the precise neurological causes of the disorder are unknown, what is known is that schizophrenia is associated with a pronounced change in the way the brain uses dopamine,…

Lisa’s trial followed the path most trials follow. On The Lincoln Lawyer Season 2 Episode 4, Mickey and his team worked hard to fill in some missing information about why Lisa was the prime suspect in the murder and why the DA’s office was prosecuting her instead of someone else. Andrea and Mickey continued their game of wits, with one person making a bold move and the other making an even bolder one. While many legal loopholes are annoying and can sometimes be dangerous for both parties, some are quite hilarious. It is always fun when a lawyer moves to bury…

On a clear night, it might look like the stars above are distributed more or less evenly. But that isn’t the case — all stars are part of a gigantic cosmic web that links galaxies across the universe like threads of spider’s silk, leaving unfathomably large swaths of nothingness in between. Now, in two papers published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters on June 29, scientists detail evidence that this massive cosmic highway stretches back nearly to the dawn of the universe. Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers discovered a massive, gassy tendril composed of 10 closely packed galaxies…

Why does one song soar to the top of the charts while another plummets? The anatomy of a hit remains a stubborn mystery that researchers and the music industry at large have been longing to solve. A new study suggests that the secret to distinguishing a hit lies in the brains of listeners—and that artificial intelligence can analyze physiological signals to reveal that secret. But other “hit song science” researchers aren’t ready to declare victory just yet. Researchers from Claremont Graduate University used a wearable, smartwatchlike device to track the cardiac responses of people listening to music. They used an algorithm…

David Bell likes to write about families. Their intricacies and complexities. Their secrets. Their lies. “Family is universal,” he says. “Everyone is in a family. Even if you’re estranged. Even if you never see them. Most people’s lives are not really that exciting — and most of the time our drama and conflict comes from family situations. A divorce. An affair. It’s all ripe material for writers.” Particularly for thriller novelists. That’s certainly the case in Bell’s 16th novel, Try Not to Breathe, in which family is at the heart. A pretty messy family, at that. Just prior to when…
Representing people in a court of law would be much easier if all you did was stand before a judge, plead your case, and hope for the best. When someone else on the other side is just as determined, if not more, to see you fail, it becomes a bit harder. You must master balancing your defense and not provoking prosecution too much. Mickey got a bit cocky on The Lincoln Lawyer Season 2 Episode 5 and jeopardized his entire case, thanks to an expert witness testimony. But before the showdown in the courtroom, the opener gave a glimpse of where Mickey…
