AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoBrain Mapping: Researchers from more than 50 institutions unveiled a detailed, cross-species atlas of the basal ganglia, a brain region tied to movement, decision-making and disorders including Parkinson’s and schizophrenia. The work could guide future research and treatments. Earlier Detection: Blood samples showed immune-system changes linked to inflammatory bowel disease up to 10 years before diagnosis. Separately, researchers identified a blood marker that may reveal an early, otherwise hard-to-detect warning sign of ovarian cancer. Animal Cognition: In a University of Tübingen study, two crows identified moving-dot patterns in an average of 235 milliseconds—about twice as fast as humans and monkeys—while remaining accurate. Research Partnerships: Australia will join the EU’s Horizon Europe research fund in January, giving its researchers access to a $155 billion program. U.S. and Chinese experts also met in Beijing to discuss nuclear safeguards, including risks posed by AI. Public Science: Malaysia’s National Science Centre drew nearly 14,000 visitors to a hands-on science carnival and plans to extend its mobile science program to more schools and rural communities.
