Human TKTL1 suggests greater neurogenesis in the frontal neocortex of modern humans than Neanderthals.

It’s obviously speculative, but a modern man of above-average build would have an excellent chance of defeating a Neanderthal in hand-to-hand combat if he could keep his opponent at arm’s length, survive the initial attack, and wear him down. What color eyes did Neanderthals have? Light skin, hair and eyes: Neanderthals are believed to have had blue or green eyes, as well as light skin and light hair. Having spent 300,000 years in northern latitudes, five times longer than Homo sapiens, it is only natural that Neanderthals should have developed these adaptive features first.

The world is not ready for the next supereruption, scientists warn

Even if humanity manages not to self-destruct with wars or climate change, there are still other existential threats that we must be prepared for. Earth came pre-loaded with many dangers long before we started to huddle together, some of which our species has barely experienced. One of the most glaring dangers comes from asteroids, like the one suspected to ravage dinosaurs 65 million years ago. As we try to anticipate our own doomsday, the warning story of the dinosaurs seems to suggest that we direct our vigilance upward. This makes sense, and humans are wisely preparing in ways that dinosaursRead News

GnRH replacement rescues cognition in Down syndrome

On By C86 Team

What inhibits GnRH release? Prolactin. Prolactin is a known inhibitor of GnRH release and a suppressor of the HPG axis. Does LH inhibit GnRH? Because LH receptors, GnRH-R, and testosterone synthesis are colocalized in Leydig cells, our data suggest that LH may inhibit GnRH-R gene expression or reduce GnRH-R mRNA stability in the testis. What inhibits the release of GnRH before puberty? The most compelling evidence that GABA is responsible for the central inhibition of GnRH release before puberty is that reduction of GABAergic neurotransmission leads to precocious puberty. What affects GnRH release? What affects gonadotropin-releasing hormone levels? GnRH levelsRead News
