Many medical students experience psychological distress from high academic demands, potentially harming their performance and mental health. Binaural beats (BB) stimulation, particularly gamma band entrainment, has been suggested to enhance neural communication, cognition, and reduce anxiety. This study aimed to determine whether 40 Hz BB could improve cognitive performance and mood in medical students.

- Several mechanisms of Parkinson's disease (PD) are unclear, and current treatments are ineffective; however, a process called SUMOylation might offer new benefits.
- Researchers knocked down a specific protein (SENP3) in a rodent model, increasing SUMO-2/3 conjugation, and observed improvements in cognitive and motor functions after MPTP exposure.
- The study suggests that enhancing SUMO-2/3 conjugation could be a promising therapeutic approach to address the cognitive and motor difficulties associated with PD.
Monitoring yellow fever in non-human primates (NHPs) is an early warning system for sylvatic yellow fever outbreaks, aiding in preventing human cases. However, current diagnostic tests for this disease, primarily relying on RT-qPCR, are complex and costly. Therefore, there is a critical need for simpler and more cost-effective methods to detect yellow fever virus (YFV) infection in NHPs, enabling early identification of viral circulation.
