How the Brain Decides to Punish or Not
(Neuroscience News) Research Fellow at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, HSE University, has conducted meta-analysis of 17 articles to find out which areas of the brain are involved decision-making for rendering social punishment. It would appear that in case of both victims of violations as well as witnesses, punishment decisions activate the brain regions responsible for focusing one’s attention, processing information, and responding effectively to social interaction. The findings of the study were published in Scientific Reports.

Can Sweating Remove Toxins from the Body? A Look at the Research
(Grace Olson) Since the 1990s, scientists have determined that harmful toxins from the environment accumulate within the tissues of the body. Now, researchers from the University of Alberta in Canada found that sweating helps remove these toxins, specifically a flame retardant chemical called polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). Published in Biomedical Research International, the researchers highlighted that studying sweat, along with blood, is crucial to understanding the toxic compound.
