| Patients may not take advice from AI doctors who know their names Posted: 11 May 2021 06:20 AM PDT Researchers found that people may be less likely to take health advice from an AI doctor when the robot knows their name and medical history. On the other hand, patients want to be on a first-name basis with their human doctors. |
| People are persuaded by social media messages, not view numbers Posted: 11 May 2021 05:12 AM PDT People are more persuaded by the actual messages contained in social media posts than they are by how many others viewed the posts, a new study suggests.

| In 'minibrains,' hindering key enzyme by different amounts has opposite growth effects Posted: 11 May 2021 05:12 AM PDT Surprising findings can help improve organoid cultures, explain role of GSK3-beta in brain development. |
| Controlling cholesterol in microglia alleviates chronic pain, opioid-free Posted: 10 May 2021 04:25 PM PDT Chemotherapy can induce a painful peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), a chronic condition and common adverse effect for cancer patients undergoing treatment.

| Team 'reads minds' to understand human tool use Posted: 10 May 2021 10:32 AM PDT Researchers have made an astonishing new discovery about how our brains control our hands. The team used MRI data to study which parts of the brain are used when we handle tools. The findings could help shed light on the regions of the brain that evolved in humans and set us apart from primates, and could pave the way for the development of next-generation prosthetic limbs that tap into the brain's control center. |
