Image by Getty / Futurism Neuroscience/Brain Science Anyone who makes a habit of losing their keys has a new excuse: you didn't forget — your memory just moved. That's courtesy of neuroscientists at Northwestern University, who recently published a study looking into the brain patterns of mice. The new research explores how the hippocampus — a crucial part of the brain for spatial memory — changes over time.

One of the Biggest Sources of Microplastics Will Make You Mad as Hell

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-24 23:00:15

Microplastics are so pervasive that they're now found in our bloodstreams, bones, and — according to one alarming study — even our brains in enough quantities to make a plastic spoon. But where do they all come from? One of the biggest sources may surprise you: car tires. Or maybe it isn't that surprising, now that we've brought it up. Yet, the role of civilization's addiction to the automobile tends to go overlooked in these discussions in favor of more obvious forms of waste like plastic bot

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority I received my invite to join Spotify back in November of 2008 — yes, back then, you couldn’t sign up by yourself; another user had to invite you with a personalized link first. I created an account, used my free trial, and finally had access to the world’s largest music streaming platform.

This story originally appeared on Inside Climate News and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. “We will drill, baby, drill,” President Donald Trump declared at his inauguration on January 20. Echoing the slogan that exemplified his energy policies during the campaign, he made his message clear: more oil and gas, lower prices, greater exports. Six months into Trump’s second term, his administration has little to show on that score. Output is ticking up, but slower than it did under the Bi

A Side Effect of Trump's Tariffs: Making Ozempic Way More Expensive

President Donald Trump's new European tariffs may spell bad news for Novo Nordisk, maker of Ozempic and Wegovy. As Axios reports, the 15 percent tariffs he's levying on goods imported into the United States from the European Union are likely to drive up already-expensive drug prices for the blockbuster weight loss jabs, which can already cost more than $1,300 per month's supply without insurance.
