    Gut Microbiome's Role in Fairness Perception and Social Decision-Making: Insights from Recent Studies

    Broke On: Tuesday, 14 May 2024 Recent studies reveal that manipulating gut bacteria through probiotics and prebiotics can influence fairness perception and social decision-making. Participants who took Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium supplements were more likely to reject unfair offers, with changes in gut microbiota composition correlating with fairness sensitivity. Another study found that a high ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes was linked to increased altruistic punishment. These findings suggest the gut microbiome shapes social behavior and open possibilities for targeted interventions.

Drinking one glass or more of 100% fruit juice each day is associated with weight gain among kids and adults, with younger children showing a greater BMI increase per every 8-oz additional serving per day than the older children.

  • New Theory Proposes Diffusiophoresis as Mechanism Behind Animal Skin Patterns

    Broke On: Wednesday, 08 November 2023 A new theory suggests diffusiophoresis, where particles move in response to concentration gradients, plays a key role in creating distinctive patterns on animal skin. The theory builds on Alan Turing's reaction-diffusion model but provides a more defined explanation for the patterns seen in certain species. Understanding this mechanism could help in designing synthetic systems, such as artificial skin patches for medical diagnostics.
