Childhood epilepsy: when a worm reveals a little-known mechanism

Life Sciences - Mar 24
Life Sciences

Researchers have identified a key gene in the regulation of nerve circuits in "Caenorhabditis elegans", a small worm often used in research. This gene, also present in humans, is associated with a rare form of infantile epilepsy. Their work suggests that an excessive release of neuropeptides could play a key role in this disease, opening up new research prospects.

Alcohol dependence: neurofeedback, a promising therapeutic complement

Health

February sees the start of alcohol-free month in Belgium. Alcohol dependence remains a major public health challenge, with high relapse rates despite treatment. Clémence Dousset, FNRS researcher at the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), explores neurofeedback: a complementary method that offers patients the chance to become actors in their own recovery by learning to regulate their brain activity.

Why record temperatures in 2024 come as a surprise to scientists

Environment

More than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels: that's the average temperature rise measured by climate monitoring agencies for the year 2024. A record that can only be partially explained by human activities that emit greenhouse gases, and which scientists are now seeking to understand. An article by Cathy Clerbaux, Faculty of Science, in The Conversation.

In search of ice millions of years old

Earth Sciences

Belgian scientists from the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) have returned from an expedition to Antarctica near the Princess Elisabeth Station, with blue ice samples and data that could lead them to ice millions of years old, providing valuable information on the evolution of the Earth's climate in the past.
