The authors looked at if there was any correlation between the phase of the moon and admissions for psychiatric concerns.
Read More...Quantifying natural recovery of dopamine deficits induced by chronic stress
Here the authors investigated the natural recovery of stress-induced dopamine-related gene deficits in C. elegans by measuring the expression of cat-2 (dopamine biosynthesis) and sod-2 (oxidative stress) following exposure to starvation or hydrocortisone. They found that the reversibility of sod-2 and the expression of cat-2 were highly dependent on the type and severity of the stressor, suggesting that the body's natural ability to recover from dopamine dysfunction has biological limitations.

The authors looked at how activation of the sympathetic nervous system impacts short-term memory.
Read More...The impact of temperature on the hydrolysis of potato starches into simple sugars
The authors looked at how storage temperature of potatoes can impact the sweetness of potatoes (due to the break down of the starch into simple sugars).
