I've donated my hair to charity four times, but I don't plan to again because there's less need now. I've donated my hair to charity four times. Human hair wigs usually have to be cut, colored, styled, and fit specifically to the person's head, Hernandez-Salas said. There's just much less demand for human hair wigs than there was years ago. Before she lost her hair, Melore donated it and got a wig from the American Cancer Society all in the same day.

☆ Drug Companies Join Medical Psychedelic Movement—but Without the High
  + stars: | 2022-12-18 | by ( Daniela Hernandez | Brianna Abbott | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Psilocybin, found in mind-bending mushrooms, is one of the compounds researchers hope can be developed into drugs that are safe enough to be taken at home. Drug developers are designing new psychedelic compounds to treat depression and other mental-health conditions but skip the trip. Mind-bending psychedelics including MDMA (aka “ecstasy”), “magic mushrooms” and LSD are being studied as potential treatments for depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and addiction. Dozens of companies and academic laboratories are also making changes to the structure of those drugs, or designing similar compounds, to take advantage of their therapeutic properties without the high.
☆ Strep Infections Join RSV and Flu in Intense Respiratory-Illness Season

Health officials in the U.S. and abroad said they are exploring a possible increase in serious strep A bacterial infections among children, the latest respiratory infection to circulate broadly ahead of the holidays. An early surge in common respiratory viruses including respiratory syncytial virus or RSV and influenza has put pressure on families, schools and children’s hospitals in recent weeks. One reason is that more people are gathering indoors without precautions such as masking that they used earlier in the Covid-19 pandemic, infectious-disease experts said.

A lesson Dr. Benson-Amram has learned: “Animals that try more things are more successful than the animals that try just a few things and then give up. But you can't just be persistent and not creative, right?” It’s an insight she said has resonated with her students.
☆ Elon Musk’s Neuralink Set to ‘Show and Tell’ Latest Brain-Computer Advances at Event
  + stars: | 2022-11-30 | by ( Daniela Hernandez | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Elon Musk‘s neuroscience startup Neuralink Corp. is expected to give a progress report on its brain-implant technology in a highly anticipated streamed event Wednesday night. In a tweet last week, the company teased a demo for the event, which begins at 9 p.m. New York time, with a short video that slowly spelled out the message “please join us for a show and tell.” Some outside researchers said the video may indicate that a Neuralink device has been used to decode brain signals to type words on a screen, although they speculated that it would most likely be through a monkey or a wearable device.

☆ Americans Take Ketamine at Home for Depression With Little Oversight
  + stars: | 2022-10-30 | by ( Brianna Abbott | Daniela Hernandez | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Startups are prescribing ketamine online to treat serious mental-health conditions, raising concern among psychiatrists about the safety of taking the mind-altering anesthetic without medical supervision, sometimes at high doses that raise risks of side effects. Ketamine is approved by the Food and Drug Administration to anesthetize people and animals and has been used safely in hospitals for decades. The out-of-body, hallucinogenic sensations it produces made it popular as a party drug known as Special K. Some doctors prescribe ketamine off-label to treat patients with conditions including severe depression, suicidal thoughts and post-traumatic stress disorder.
☆ Scientists Transplant Human Tissue into Rat Brains, Opening Door to New Research
  + stars: | 2022-10-12 | by ( Daniela Hernandez | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Bioengineered human tissue transplanted into rat brains generated hybrid neural circuits that affected the animals’ behavior, researchers said, expanding a pathway for exploring brain development and the mechanics of some diseases. Neuroscientists at Stanford University transplanted tiny blobs of neural tissue known as organoids into the brains of newborn rats. The human cells grew and made functional connections within the rat brain, generating hybrid neural circuits, the researchers said in a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature.
