Skin patch that collects sweat could predict ovulation | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A patch that measures oestrogen and progesterone in sweat could give wearers insight into their reproductive changes. This may be particularly helpful when predicting ovulation if they are trying to become pregnant. The patch “has the potential to be less invasive than blood tests and sonograms [for gauging ovulation], and to provide more useful information than currently available wearables”, says Gillian Goddard at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine in New York, who wasn’t involved in the res
Zapping the face could boost brain signalling and memory | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Electrically stimulating a nerve in the face has shown promise for boosting memory. Bursts of stimulation, delivered via skin electrodes, appear to improve signalling between cells in the hippocampus, a brain region crucial for memory. In a small study, this then enabled people to better remember what a group of strangers did for a living. “If the benefits hold up, that could make [this stimulation] suitable for a wearable device and potentially accessible to many more people,” says Siyar Bahadi
Postbiotic could reduce the risk of brain damage after a concussion | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A postbiotic could reduce the risk of damage after a traumatic brain injury, such as a concussion. Mice that had traumatic brain injuries experienced less damage and performed better on cognitive tests if they were given a postbiotic – a byproduct produced when gut bacteria digest food – before injury. This suggests the postbiotic could be given preventatively to people who are particularly at risk of traumatic brain injuries, such as military personnel. The gut microbiome is known to influence
