Changes to brain`s memory centre to prolonged pain influence depression: Study

Changes to one`s hippocampus, the brain`s memory centre, in response to prolonged pain could be an important factor for why some people develop depression in chronic pain, while others do not, according to a study. "Our findings suggest that the hippocampus acts as a control centre that helps the brain regulate emotional responses to long-term pain. Depression is not inevitable -- it depends on how this system responds over time," co-lead author Jianfeng Feng, professor of computer science at the UK`s University of Warwick, said. The study, published in the journal Science, analysed brain scans from population cohorts, including data from the UK Biobank, and a rodent model.

Samsung Now Officially Supports AirDrop, but Only for These Devices

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Back in November, Google made a stunning announcement: Quick Share was suddenly compatible with Apple's AirDrop. At the time, the compatibility was limited to the Pixel 10, but no matter: Google had just made history, transforming the sharing features from platform-specific to cross-platform. While AirDrop and Quick Share have long been the most convenient ways to share large files between devices, it only worked if you and your friend were on the same OS. That limitation introduces some inconvenient friction, but, as support cross-platform expands, that friction is easing up. Google first announced plans for greater AirDrop compatibility in Quick Share last month, when Android Vice President of Engineering Eric Kay n...

International Day of Happiness: Managing stress in high-stimulus cities

Between the exhausting traffic and corporate hustle of Indian metropolitan cities, stress has become the default setting for the Indian urbanite. We have long been conditioned to believe that happiness is a distant destination—a reward found only during a Himalayan trek or a Goan sabbatical. However, as people mark the International Day of Happiness, observed on March 20 every year, a new perspective is emerging: happiness isn`t just an internal state, it is a biological negotiation with our environment.

Reliance Foundation Hospital. Together, they share an urban zen blueprint...
