|  | | | | |  Uncovering the hidden retinal risks of modern dentistry Dentists are exposed to intense lighting for long hours, but its long-term impact on eye health is often overlooked. This study evaluates whether chronic exposure to dental lighting, especially blue and white LEDs, can damage the retina and disrupt its normal function. | |  | | | | |  Taurine deficiency symptoms, causes, and health risks explained Taurine is a conditionally essential, non-proteinogenic amino acid that plays critical roles in cardiovascular, neurological, metabolic, and retinal health. While true deficiency is rare in humans, impaired taurine status, due to genetic, developmental, or nutritional factors, can contribute to functional and disease-related outcomes. | | | | | | |  New optogenetic method precisely controls marmoset brain communication pathways Understanding how the brain works requires more than studying single regions in isolation. The cerebral cortex depends on long-distance connections that link specialized areas into coordinated networks. | |
