Surprising finding in the eye may explain how we see in low light

A new Yale School of Medicine (YSM) study has uncovered surprising new details about how our eyes process what we see. When we look at something, our visual system breaks down different aspects of the scene—such as color, contrast, and motion—and processes those components separately. It's called parallel visual processing and it's what allows our brains to work out what we're seeing so quickly.

CPR goes high-tech: Transesophageal echocardiography turns blind compressions into precision hits

By conducting the world's first randomized clinical trial, researchers have demonstrated that while overall survival rates remained comparable in this initial phase, TEE-guided precision CPR enhances end-tidal CO2 levels (indicating better CPR quality and forward blood flow), transforming traditional "blind" compressions into a data-driven science. This research, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, paves the way for individually customized resuscitation, challenging global standards to maximize survival for millions worldwide.

Why autism affects more men than women—MDGA1 gene mutation may help explain

Researchers have discovered that a mutation of the MDGA1 gene, a key factor modulating the connections and characteristics between nerve cells, serves as a new cause of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and suggested the possibility of a drug to treat the disorder. This study holds great significance, as it provides biological clues on why autism is more frequent among men than among women. The findings are published in the journal EMBO Molecular Medicine.

Could we actually terraform Mars? A new scientific roadmap lays out the blueprint—and the risks

Reading the "Mars Trilogy" by Kim Stanley Robinson brings the benefits and pitfalls of efforts to terraform the red planet into sharp relief. Since the 1970s, when Carl Sagan first suggested the possibility that we could make Mars more Earth-like, that process has been a staple of science fiction. But there's always been a significant amount of humanity that thinks we shouldn't. A new paper posted to the arXiv preprint server by Edwin Kite of the University of Chicago and his co-authors skirts around the ethical and moral questions of whether we should and tries to take a long, hard look at whether we can.
