A new study from Reichman University has found that a short, three-week digital training program, combined with the standard drug treatment for Parkinson’s disease, led to significant improvements in patients’ motor function and measurable changes in the brain’s motor circuits.

Researchers have uncovered a surprising mechanism that allows plants to carefully coordinate the formation and growth of new leaf parts. The study shows that the hormone auxin regulates different phases in organ formation by oppositely affecting the activity of another hormone, gibberellin, to trigger the formation of new leaf structures before reversing course and boosting gibberellin to drive their expansion. The findings offer new insight into how plants build complex organs and could eventually help scientists develop crops with improved growth and architecture.

Kogakuin University (Japan) and the Indian Institute of Technology (ISM) Dhanbad (India) have initiated a collaborative research framework to advance the development and fundamental understanding of next-generation multifunctional glass-ceramic materials for energy-related applications.
