Researchers from the Department of Cell Biology, Genetics and Physiology at the University of Malaga have led an international scientific team that has studied how a traumatic brain injury caused by a severe blow to the head conditions the brain’s long-term response to subsequent stress situations.

A joint team from China has published a survey paper in National Science Review. The study reviews recent advances in EEG-based emotion recognition from an interdisciplinary neuroscience and information-science perspective and introduces EEGEmoLib, an open-source Python toolbox that integrates psychological and neuroscientific priors into algorithm design, offering a standardized platform with theoretical grounding and practical usability.

Climate policy models usually assume people hold accurate beliefs about climate damages. A new study builds disinformation into a climate–economy model and finds that informed democratic majorities can deliver stronger carbon taxes than a politically constrained planner, but this advantage collapses abruptly once disinformation tips the majority. Late and persistent disinformation yields the most severe warming, while counter-disinformation efforts can largely restore effective policy.
