Brain may have more influence on lifespan and sexual maturity of humans than their body

New Vanderbilt research finds how long humans and other live--and when they reach sexual maturity-- may have more to do with their brain than their body. More specifically, it is not animals with larger bodies or slower metabolic rates that live longer; it is animals with more neurons in the cerebral cortex, whatever the size of the body.

Researchers propose new contactless method for measuring blood flow in the upper limbs

The research team from Russia proposed a new contactless method for measuring blood flow in the upper limbs. The method is based on video recording of the skin surface under green light measuring the absorption of red blood cells. This helps to see how effective the circulatory system and the blood flow regulation are.
