BEYOND

Beyond The Noise

The constant search for tranquil places to get our work done might need to end, as a new study shows how ‘random noise’ can be beneficial for our brain to learn and perceive faster.

Based on a pre-existing research, this study expands on how transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) can improve our perception, learning potential, neuroplasticity, attention span, and perpetual decision making.

What are tRNS?

Firstly, tRNS has nothing to do with random noises rather it is a non-invasive form of brain stimulation that consists of weak alternating current oscillating in random frequencies to the scalp, it is sent via a pair of electrodes. The electrodes placed on the scalp stimulate brain tissues and enhance performance at certain tasks which relates to enhanced plasticity in target neurons.

New tools of the future

As established before, tRNS enhances communication between brain areas (neuroplasticity) this can potentially reduce some of the behavioral effects of neurological conditions like ADHD & Schizophrenia as these are conditions that lack communication between different parts of the brain.

Even though a lot more in-depth research is needed for tRNS to be the tool of the future, it is still considered to be a revolutionary step.

HEALTHY BITES

Sweetener crisis: No more saving calories from sugar by consuming artificially sweetened diet sodas as a recent study shows sweeteners increases the risk of heart diseases (346 out of 1000 people).
Nasal COVID-19 Vaccine: A new vaccine has been developed by the Chinese pharmaceutical company CanSino Biologics that delivers via inhalation as a nasal spray.
Tensions of Hypertension: A recent study on hypertension reveals it can be a leading cause of declining bone health early on in life putting the younger generation at a risk of having fragile bones.
FDA Approved: After a long 2 years and 3 clinical trials, FDA has finally approved a new oral medication, Sotyktu for Plaque Psoriasis.
Stress during pregnancy: A recent study found out higher negative emotions in babies are associated with stress level of mothers during pregnancy.
