Beyond serotonin: Scientists finally unlock the true mechanism of antidepressants

by
SciTechDaily

Antidepressants such as SSRIs work by stimulating neuroplasticity and connectivity in the brain, offering a new perspective on their role in treating depression, beyond serotonin theory. Credit: SciTechDaily.com The serotonin-boosting effect of antidepressants is essential and relieves depression by restoring normal communication and connections in the brain. New research highlights that SSRIs and other antidepressants … Read more

radio bursts in night sky

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are intense, short-lived bursts of radio waves originating from outside the Milky Way that can emit the same amount of energy in just thousandths of a second as it takes the Sun three days to emit. However, despite their power and the fact that up to 10,000 FRBs can erupt in … Read more

How heavy can a light particle be? Scientists just discovered it

by

We have a new upper limit for the light mass. According to measurements of pulsating stars scattered across the Milky Way and mysterious radio signals from other galaxies, a particle of light – called a photon – cannot be heavier than 9.52 × 10-46 kilograms. It’s a small limit, but if we discover that light … Read more
