🔸 اگر زندگی مان از فعالیت هایی که از آن ها لذت می بریم تهی شود، دچار افسردگی خواهیم شد. باید بخشی از زمان خود را به انجام فعالیت های سالم که باعث ایجاد حس نشاط در ما می شود، صرف کنیم. مطالعات نشان داده افرادی که زندگی‌شان از فعالیت های پرنشاط خالی می شود به افسردگی دچار می شوند و یا به مواد مخدر روی می آورند.
🔸از چه فعالیت هایی در زندگی واقعا لذت می برید؟
🔸چه میزان از وقت خود را به انجام آنها سپری می کنید؟

How the Brain Adapts to New Sensory Contexts
New research reveals how the brain rapidly adapts to sensory changes using a feedback loop between the olfactory cortex and the olfactory bulb. Scientists trained mice to associate rewards with specific sounds and smells, then switched the rules to test their adaptability. Expert mice quickly adjusted their responses, suggesting that the brain rapidly updates sensory associations.
The study found that top-down signals from the olfactory cortex help assign reward values to both smells and sounds. This unexpected cross-modal integration challenges traditional views of sensory processing. Future research aims to uncover how these feedback loops incorporate other senses like sight and touch.

Terahertz Light Unlocks a New Era in Smarter, Faster Memory Chips
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) and MIT have achieved a groundbreaking feat — creating a stable, long-lasting magnetic state in an antiferromagnetic material using only light. This discovery could lead to major advancements in memory chip technology and information processing.
By using a terahertz laser, which oscillates more than a trillion times per second, the researchers were able to directly excite the material’s atoms. They carefully tuned the laser’s frequency to match the natural vibrations of the atoms, triggering an ultrafast shift in the atomic structure and pushing the material into a new magnetic state. Their findings, recently published in Nature, highlight the potential of light to control magnetism in innovative ways.

China doubles down on smart medicine
A newly established research centre is building a chronic disease management system to enable access to comprehensive patient data. More healthcare stakeholders in China are contributing to the government's vision to make smart Chinese medicine popular and standardised. Based on a press statement, the chronic disease management system will comprehensively track a patient's medical journey and enable functions for follow-up care and long-term health management. It will also provide medical practitioners access to extensive patient medical histories, which will further inform their treatment plans. Additionally, the system can help accelerate scientific discoveries by providing researchers with an "invaluable" pool of tracked data, including the analysis of treatment effectiveness and responses to medical interventions.

Study finds complex languages may be more efficient for communication
How do languages balance the richness of their structures with the need for efficient communication?
languages that are computationally harder to process compensate for this increased complexity with greater efficiency: more complex languages need fewer symbols to encode the same message. The analyses also reveal that larger language communities tend to use more complex but more efficient languages.
There is a trade-off between complexity and efficiency. Languages with higher complexity tend to produce shorter texts to convey the same content, reflecting a compensatory mechanism where increased structural intricacy is offset by greater efficiency in communication.

"Once you've mastered it, a complex language might offer more options to express yourself, which can make it easier to convey the same idea using fewer symbols. This is relevant, because we also show that this trade-off is shaped by the social environments in which languages are used, with larger communities tending to use more complex but more efficient languages."
So one could speculate that in large societies, institutionalized education might enable greater linguistic complexity by providing systematic and formalized language learning, which supports the acquisition and use of intricate linguistic structures. At the same time, the importance of written communication in larger societies may create pressure for shorter messages to reduce costs for production, storage, and transmission—such as book paper, storage space, or bandwidth.

🎥 The man who knew infinity
At the turn of the twentieth century, Srinivasa Ramanujan is a struggling and indigent citizen in the city of Madras in India working at menial jobs at the edge of poverty. While performing his menial labour, his employers notice that he seems to have exceptional skills in mathematics and they begin to make use of him for rudimentary accounting tasks. It becomes equally clear to his employers, who are college-educated, that Ramanujan's mathematical insights exceed the simple accounting tasks they are assigning to him and soon they encourage him to make his personal writings in mathematics available to the general public and to start to contact professors of mathematics at universities by writing to them. One such letter is sent to G. H. Hardy, a famous mathematician at University of Cambridge, who begins to take a special interest in Ramanujan.
