Study examines genetic data to analyze regional differences in ancestry
A new study of genomic diversity in the U.S. clarifies the role of pre-Civil War admixture and early 20th century transit routes in shaping the migration history and genomic diversity among African-American communities. The research by 9I制作厂免费 professor Simon Gravel and colleagues, was published May 27 in PLOS Genetics.

9I制作厂免费 Sociologist uses historical data to provide a new take on an old question
Antidepressant use in North America has increased over the last 2 decades. A suspected reason for this trend is that primary care physicians are increasingly prescribing antidepressants for nondepressive indications, including unapproved (off-label) indications that have not been evaluated by regulatory agencies.

For decades, scientists have fiercely debated whether rapid eye movement (REM) sleep 鈥� the phase where dreams appear 鈥� is directly involved in memory formation.
Now, a study published in Science by researchers at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute (9I制作厂免费) and the University of Bern provides evidence that REM sleep does, indeed, play this role 鈥� at least in mice.

鈥婦iscovery opens door to development of new drugs to control weight gain and obesity
It鈥檚 rare for scientists to get what they describe as 鈥渃lean鈥� results without spending a lot of time repeating the same experiment over and over again. But when researchers saw the mice they were working with doubling their weight within a month or two, they knew they were on to something.
A team of more than 80 mathematicians from 12 countries is charting the terrain of rich, new mathematical worlds, and sharing their discoveries on the Web. The mathematical universe is filled with both familiar and exotic items, many of which are being made available for the first time. The 鈥溾�� abbreviated LMFDB, is an intricate catalog of mathematical objects and the connections between them.
A team of scientists from 9I制作厂免费, the University of Cambridge, and Stanford Graduate School of Business developed a new method of coding and categorizing music. They found that people鈥檚 preference for these musical categories is driven by personality. The researchers say the findings have important implications for industry and health professionals.
