Gut microbiome: Meet Asaccharobacter celatus—the brain health bug

 "I recently completed a study which showed that A celatus was associated with a component of brain function known as executive function. This relates to complex cognitive tasks we perform daily, including doing math in our head, or reorganizing the day's tasks in our mind when something unexpectedly changes.

I found that the more A celatus bacteria were in healthy older adults aged 50 to 80 (measured by sequencing stool samples), the greater their scores on an executive function test. But it's important to note that these findings are yet to be published in a peer-reviewed journal.

This  appears promising, but we need more evidence to confirm the  of both A celatus bacteria and soy foods in helping  maintain their brain health as they age."

Research finds dramatic increase in cranial traumas as the first cities were being built, suggesting a rise in violence

 " The development of the earliest cities in Mesopotamia and the Middle East led to a substantial increase in violence between inhabitants. Laws, centralized administration, trade and culture then caused the ratio of violent deaths to fall back again in the Early and Middle Bronze Age (3,300 to 1,500 BCE). This is the conclusion of an international team of researchers from the Universities of Tübingen, Barcelona and Warsaw. Their  results  were published in  Nature Human Behaviour ." https://phys.org/news/2023-10-cranial-traumas-cities-built-violence.html

 " Initially hailed by its discoverers as “the most ancient Hebrew inscription ever found,” the  controversial Mt. Ebal curse tablet  may be no more than a common fishing weight. At least that is the suggestion of archaeologist Amihai Mazar, who published his interpretation of the artifact in the  Israel Exploration Journal , alongside two other articles skeptical of the discoverers’ claims."
