As part of the study, the researchers characterized the psychological, social and medical condition of approximately 200 veterans and at the same time collected saliva samples from them. The research findings show that all those soldiers who suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder have a typical picture of bacteria in their saliva. A third of them were not diagnosed

A new article did an interesting experiment related to quantum theory and the study of consciousness. The results show that one of the well-known theories that claims that consciousness is created as a result of quantum measurement, is probably not true.

The findings of a study conducted at Tel Aviv University indicate that the brain's response to sounds is powerful even during sleep, in all but one measure: the level of alpha-beta waves related to the degree of attention and attention. The meaning: in a state of sleep the brain hears the sound but fails to focus on it and form a full identification and conscious perception

While silicon computers have changed the face of society, they are still dwarfed by the brains of most animals. For example, a cat's brain stores 1,000 times more data than an average iPad and can use that information a million times faster. The human brain, with its trillion neural connections, is capable of 15 quintillion operations per second

Neuroscientists have reexamined hundreds of conflicting experiments on the relationship between brain activity and conscious experience. In the world of science today there are four leading and conflicting theories that deal with the study of awareness and the relationship to brain activity. In the study, the researchers re-examined hundreds of experiments that support the conflicting theories and discovered that the contradictions in the experimental findings are mainly due to methodological differences - that is, to a large extent, the form of the experiment predetermines its results

"It seems that C. elegans placed a high value on the sensation of salt, using a completely different brain circuit configuration to respond," says the lead researcher. "This may be because salt often represents bacteria, which are food for the worm."
