Stealth Adaptations in Large Ichthyosaur Flippers

In the depths of the Early Jurassic seas, one marine predator reigned supreme not only through sheer size but also through unparalleled adaptations for stealth. The genus Temnodontosaurus, a colossal ichthyosaur that sometimes grew beyond ten meters, occupied apex trophic positions within its ecosystem. Combining formidable physicality with specialized sensory and locomotory traits, these ancient … Read more

Longer Scans Enhance Brain Study Accuracy, Cut Costs

Longer Scans Enhance Brain Study Accuracy, Cut Costs

In the evolving landscape of brain-wide association studies, a recent investigation underscores a pivotal strategy that intriguingly challenges conventional wisdom: extending the duration of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans not only sharpens predictive accuracy but also reduces overall research costs. This paradigm shift confronts the traditional notion that shorter scans paired with larger sample … Read more
