Mouse study finds impaired cell development: Intermittent fasting could be unsafe for teenagers

A recent study reveals that age plays a significant role in the outcomes of intermittent fasting. Researchers discovered that chronic intermittent fasting disrupted the development of insulin-producing beta cells in young mice. The findings raise concerns about potential risks for humans, especially teenagers. Read Full Article (External Site) Dr. David LowemannDr. David Lowemann, M.Sc, Ph.D., […]

Exploring the role of dimensionality transformation in episodic memory

Episodic memory must accomplish two adversarial goals: encoding and storing a multitude of experiences without exceeding the finite neuronal structure of the brain, and recalling memories in vivid detail. Dimensionality reduction and expansion (‘dimensionality transformation’) enable the brain to meet these demands. Reduction compresses sensory input into simplified, storable codes, while expansion reconstructs vivid details. […]
