Hydride Tellurides
Hydride tellurides are chemical compounds composed of hydrogen and tellurium. These are mixed anion compounds containing both hydride and telluride ions. They are in the…
Yoga, running, and tai chi are competing methods for treating Insomnia
Yoga, Tai Chi, walking, and jogging may be some of the best natural remedies for improving sleep and tackling insomnia, according to a large analysis…
Hydride Selenides
Hydride selenides are chemical compounds that contain hydrogen and selenium, often represented as H₂Se or as more complex hydrogen–selenium species. These are mixed anion compounds…
Researchers find that the Layers of the Brain become Stronger with Age
Researchers have discovered that parts of the human brain age more slowly than previously thought—particularly in the region that processes touch. By using ultra-high-resolution brain…
Fluorohydride Salts
Fluorohydride salts are a unique class of inorganic compounds containing both fluoride (F⁻) and hydride (H⁻) anions coordinated to a metal cation. These are ionic…
Instant Friendships and their Astonishing Brain Chemistry
UC Berkeley scientists found oxytocin is key for quickly forming strong friendships, but less critical for mate bonds. In prairie voles, a lack of oxytocin…
Beryllium Iodide
Beryllium iodide (BeI₂) is an inorganic compound composed of beryllium and iodine. It is a hygroscopic white solid. It appears as a white to yellowish…
Biological Indicators for Teen Depression
Using a novel lab method they developed, McGill University researchers have identified nine molecules in the blood that were elevated in teens diagnosed with depression.…
Before Birth, Tiny Microorganisms may Covertly Rewire the Brain
MSU researchers discovered that microbes begin shaping the brain while still in the womb, influencing neurons in a region critical for stress and social behavior.…
Beryllium Hydroxide
Beryllium hydroxide [Be(OH)₂] is an inorganic compound and the main hydroxide of beryllium. It is an amphoteric hydroxide, dissolving in both acids and alkalis. It…
Scientists have Discovered a Protein that can prevent Brain Aging
Scientists at UCSF have uncovered a surprising culprit behind brain aging: a protein called FTL1. In mice, too much FTL1 caused memory loss, weaker brain…
