Walking for a big brain
Walking is one of my favourite things to do especially in woodland – they’re buzzing with life and one of the most sensual and atmospheric places you can experience.

So, who’s right?

Scientists have discovered a less intrusive method of fertilisation for couples by using magnets to guide sperm to fertilise eggs.
Magnets can now be used to guide sperm as they continue to swim independently. While the tail is free to propel the cells forward, tiny magnetic beads affixed to each sperm head allow researchers to direct the cells in the direction of an egg.

According to 3,500 brain scans, women's brains are more affected cognitively by metabolism and ageing.
Even with decades separating them, a 50-year-old and an 80-year-old can have the same mental strain. Age isn't always the difference. Thousands of scans indicate that metabolic health leaves its own mark, distinct from the regular aging-related wear and tear.

The caregiver's mental health may be subtly strained while providing care for a person with dementia.
A family's focus is drawn in one direction after receiving a dementia diagnosis. Everyone's attention is drawn to the individual who is sliding due to their deteriorating memory, missed names, and accumulated appointments. One moves forward to take on the role of carer and oversee everything.

Lab-grown organoids demonstrate why survivors relapse and previous outbreaks resurface, why Ebola remains contagious in human brain tissue for 120 days.
Even after being proclaimed cured, an Ebola survivor may still have the active virus in their brain for months. It can flare up again at times. It can occasionally rekindle an outbreak that everyone believed had ended.
