Glial cells supply nerve fibres with energy-rich metabolic products
Axons are closely associated with glial cells which, on the one hand, surround them
Our well-being depends heavily on the family constellations in which we live, especially our position in the generational structure. Studies show that family relationships play a key role in health and well-being throughout the life course, especially in old age. The new study by Bettina Hünteler and Karsten Hank shows that these effects are complex and that multiple role transitions within a family system are crucial. People with a small “kinship reservoir” are more likely to suffer from physical impairments, while people in three-generation families are less likely to suffer from depression and physical impairments.

Antlions inject a complex venom mixture into its prey, which differs in composition and effectiveness from the venom of related green lacewing larvae and reflects the specific ecology of the species.
On the one hand, this is unusual, as most animals harbor a large number of microorganisms
In the past one and a half years, the Sun has been rather dull: hardly a sunspot covered its surface, hardly a solar flare hurled radiation and particles into space. As observational data now show, for the last nine months solar activity has been slowly picking up again. Already in December 2019, our star passed its activity minimum, an event which occurs approximately every eleven years. This confirms predictions made by the Solar Cycle 25 Prediction Panel, an international panel of experts organized by NASA and NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), in March last year. The panel, whose members include Dr. Robert Cameron from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) in Germany, expects the Sun to be as tame in the now beginning solar cycle 25 as it has been in the previous eleven years.
For predictions of solar activity, it is crucial, on the one hand, to observe precisely
Die menschliche Sprache in persönlichen Interaktionen ist multimodal, wobei Handgesten wichtige Informationen übermitteln: Unsere Forschung zeigt, dass sie die Sprachverarbeitung erleichtern und zu schnelleren Antworten führen. Gesten gehen oft den zugehörigen Worten voraus, und EEG- Untersuchungen bestätigen, dass das Sehen bedeutungsvoller Gesten die vorzeitige mentale Aktivierung der dargestellten Bedeutung fördert.

Wer gestikuliert, bekommt sofort eine Antwort, ohne Gesten entsteht eine kurze Gesprächspause. Das ist das Ergebnis einer Studie von Judith Holler und ihren Kollegen vom Max-Planck-Institut für Psycholinguistik. Im Interview erklärt die Sprachwissenschaftlerin welche Rolle Gesten in Gesprächen spielen.
Das sind Gesten, bei denen ich mit der Hand eine Bewegung ausführe und die Hand dann
Modelling enables predictions for the development of biodiversity in tropical forests.
On the one hand, they differ in terms of their pace of life; while ‘fast’ species
Open Science addresses concerns about the reliability of scientific research and is gaining traction in various fields. Ugofilippo Basellini’s paper reviews the state of openness in demographic research and finds significant progress in open access, but less so in the availability of open software code. The study emphasizes the importance of sharing software code to advance the field and proposes recommendations to encourage this practice. Basellini advocates for a culture of openness, emphasizing the need for supportive feedback, incentives, and training to encourage code sharing.
On the one hand, the publication of demographic research is becoming more and more
