Networks of nerve cells grown in the laboratory revealed a new regulatory mechanism that maintains a balance between activation and suppression of brain activity
Regional map of average symptoms characterizing COVID-19. Shown are areas in different cities where there are at least 30 respondents, or neighborhoods with at least 10 respondents to the questionnaire. Each area is colored according to a category determined according to the average amount of symptoms reported by the respondents in that area. Green - low percentage of symptoms, red - high percentage of symptoms
