Trots sin minimala hjärna besitter humlor en väldigt stor förmåga att navigera. Det visar ny forskning från bland annat Lunds universitet. Forskningsresultaten har potential att komma till nytta vid utveckling av exempelvis navigerande robotar i krissituationer där GPS inte fungerar. Enligt den aktuella forskningsstudien verkar humlor kunna uppnå motsvarande förmåga att navigera som ryggradsdjur;

När hjärnan blir mindre känslig för insulin får det flera negativa hälsoeffekter, bland annat ökad aptit och med det risk för övervikt och typ 2-diabetes. Nu visar en mindre studie från forskare vid universitet i Tübingen, Tyskland, att två månaders träningsprogram för stillasittande överviktiga personer ökade hjärnans känslighet för insulin vilket gav positiva effekter för hälsan. Vid typ 2-diabe
