Antibiotic exposure can 'prime' single-resistant bacteria to become multidrug-resistant

Researchers report that, for a bacterial pathogen already resistant to an antibiotic, prolonged exposure to that antibiotic not only boosted its ability to retain its resistance gene, but also made the pathogen more readily pick up and maintain resistance to a second antibiotic and become a dangerous, multidrug-resistant strain.

Scientists unveil how general anesthesia works

The discovery of general anesthetics — compounds which induce unconsciousness, prevent control of movement and block pain — helped transform dangerous operations into safe surgery. But scientists still don’t understand exactly how general anesthetics work. Now, researchers have revealed how a general anesthetic called isoflurane weakens the transmission of electrical signals between neurons, at junctions […]

Where in the brain does creativity come from? Evidence from jazz musicians

A new brain-imaging study has studied the brain activity of jazz guitarists during improvisation to show that creativity is, in fact, driven primarily by the right hemisphere in musicians who are comparatively inexperienced at improvisation. However, musicians who are highly experienced at improvisation rely primarily on their left hemisphere. Source: Where in the brain does […]
