Uma nova espécie de molusco marinho, Actinopteria grahni, foi descoberta em Ponta Grossa, Paraná, a partir de um fóssil de 400 milhões de anos, mais antigo que os dinossauros.
A German study published in PLOS Biology reveals that high stress levels, specifically elevated cortisol, impair spatial navigation abilities. Researchers found that cortisol disrupts the brain's internal GPS system, affecting grid cells in the entorhinal cortex, which are crucial for navigation. This disruption was observed regardless of the presence of external landmarks.
