Study of football fan brain acitivity in victory and defeat

Scientists have revealed just how a fanatical football fan’s brain works establishing extreme emotional highs and lows depending on results and performance.
Every fan's team scores, wins or loses, extreme activity in the brain may dictate what you do next, a new study reveals.
In experiments, scientists scanned the brains of fans to see how blood flow changed as they watched their team win or lose.
The experts found that the sight of their team scoring lit up the brain region associated with reward, releasing pleasurable chemicals like dopamine.
But when their team lost, a different area of the brain involved in introspection was triggered, helping them make sense of what has just happened.
In other words, we feel good when we watch our team score, but when we see our team's rivals put one past us, we attempt to rationalise it.
Biologist Francisco Zamorano who led the study for Chile’s Universidad San Sebastián said: “Rivalry rapidly reconfigures the brain’s valuation–control balance within seconds.
“With significant victory, the reward circuitry in the brain is amplified relative to non-rival wins, whereas in significant defeat the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex which plays an important role in cognitive control—shows paradoxical suppression of control signals.”
OPS:MRI results showed that brain activity changed when the fan’s team succeeded or failed. This image reveals the effect of significant defeat on the brain where a network called the salience network - responsible for switching between internal and external thinking - is deactivated

Vanguard 1
Ref 17266
31/10/2025
See Ferrari text
Picture MUST credit: DEEP Research
An underwater habitat designed to allow scientists to live and carry out research deep beneath the sea has been unveiled.
Called Vanguard, a team of up to four people can lives beneath the waves for seven days or more.
The structure was unveiled in Miami, Florida.
It is being developed by UK engineering firm DEEP Research so researchers, explorers, and oceanographers can live underwater for extended time periods.
Until now, most expeditions have only allowed scientists to stay submerged for a few hours at a time.
By eliminating the constant need to resurface, they will be able to observe fragile ecosystems directly from beneath the waves.
The modular structure consists of three sections, including a living chamber, a diving centre, and a base anchored to the seabed.
The living area is 12 meters long, 3.7 meters wide and is where the crew eat, sleep, and conduct research.
The diving centre which the crew use to get in and out, is connected to an underwater base anchored to the seabed and ensures that the habitat remains stable and protected from waves and storms.
A floating platform stationed on the surface supplies compressed air, power, and communications.

Picture MUST credit:University of Twente/npj Robotics (2025)
A team of researchers has transformed real sperm cells into tiny, magnetically controlled micro-robots to help improve fertility.
This development could open new doors in reproductive medicine, drug delivery, and infertility diagnostics.
The bots can be tracked in real time using X-ray imaging.
Sperm cells are naturally fast, flexible swimmers that can navigate the complex environment of the female reproductive tract making them promising candidates for use in medical micro-robotics.
Sperm cells are nearly impossible to see inside the human body using traditional imaging methods like X-ray.
They’re small, low-density, and nearly transparent to radiation.
Researchers and medical professionals from University of Twente and Radboud University Medical Center both in the Netherlands and Canada’s University of Waterloo coated real sperm cells with magnetic nanoparticles.
This made them visible under X-ray and responsive to external magnetic fields. For the first time, these sperm-based micro-robots can now be tracked and steered inside a life-sized anatomical model.
Once inside, they can potentially deliver drugs to hard-to-reach places such as the uterus or fallopian tubes.

Picture MUST credit: Stowers Institute for Medical Research
Scientists are hoping they could one day repair damaged human eyes — by studying a snail which is already able to do it.
The eye of the apple snail is unusually similar to a human eye but can regrow itself if injured or even amputated.
A study into how this happens has the potential to better understand and find treatments for eye conditions in humans like macular degeneration.
A team from US biomedical research organisation the Stowers Institute for Medical Research discovered the apple snail has complex camera-type eyes like humans.
The researchers have developed tools to alter its genome, resulting in snails with stable gene variations to help better understand the process of regeneration.
The process of apple snail eye regeneration from amputation to full restoration happens n four stages over 28 days.
It begins with wound healing and ends with the emergence of a lens and retina.
Apple snails have eyes that are anatomically similar to those in humans with a lens, cornea, and retina.
The researchers found that a gene called pax6—known to play a crucial role in vertebrate and fruit fly eye development—is also present in apple snails.
In the lab, the team disrupted the pax6 gene function creating healthy snails but with missing eyes.
The snails began to generate eyes. For each stage of the regeneration, the team collected and analysed gene activity.
This information is being used to narrow down which genes are likely most promising for eye regeneration.

Apple snails have eyes that are anatomically similar to those in humans with a lens, cornea, and retina.
The researchers found that a gene called pax6—known to play a crucial role in vertebrate and fruit fly eye development—is also present in apple snails.
In the lab, the team disrupted the pax6 gene function creating healthy snails but with missing eyes.
The snails began to generate eyes. For each stage of the regeneration, the team collected and analysed gene activity.
This information is being used to narrow down which genes are likely most promising for eye regeneration.
OPS: Apple snails. One the left, one with an intact right eye. One the right, one with a regenerating left eye.

Scientists are hoping they could one day repair damaged human eyes — by studying a snail which is already able to do it.
The eye of the apple snail is unusually similar to a human eye but can regrow itself if injured or even amputated.
A study into how this happens has the potential to better understand and find treatments for eye conditions in humans like macular degeneration.
A team from US biomedical research organisation the Stowers Institute for Medical Research discovered the apple snail has complex camera-type eyes like humans.
The researchers have developed tools to alter its genome, resulting in snails with stable gene variations to help better understand the process of regeneration.

Le Land Rover du roi Charles III d'Angleterre à vendre
Picture MUST credit: Iconic Auctioneers A Land Rover owned by Britain’s Kling Charles before he came to the throne is up for sale. It was bought for the sole use of Charles, then the Prince of Wales, and wife Camilla Parker Bowles. The rugged green Land Rover Defender 90 was supplied new in 2010 and delivered to his private home, Highgrove House near the town of Tetbury, Gloucestershire in the UK on November 15, 2010. Although the 4X4 Defender rarely has any form of creature comforts this one warmed royal backsides thanks to the luxury of heated seats. It is also equipped with heated front and rear screens. A confirmation letter addressed to Charles’s head chauffeur Tim Williams is included with the car’s documents bundle. The car, in Keswick green paint, with a charcoal grey interior shows only minor wear to the driver’s seat, said to indicate it was bot chauffeur-driven, Since being sold by Charles it has been part of a privately owned royal collection.

(EyesOnSci)CHINA-JURASSIC FOSSIL DISCOVERY-ORIGIN OF BIRDS (CN)
(250213) -- BEIJING, Feb. 13, 2025 (Xinhua) -- This combo photo shows an image of the fossilized bird Baminornis zhenghensis (above) and a skeleton diagram. Chinese scientists have unearthed the oldest short-tailed bird fossil, dating back about 150 million years, in east China's Fujian Province. This suggests that birds might have originated earlier than previously thought.
The fossilized bird Baminornis zhenghensis was discovered in Zhenghe County, Fujian Province. Its short tail ends in a compound bone called the pygostyle, a feature uniquely present in modern birds. This indicates that the body structure of modern birds emerged in the Late Jurassic Period, 20 million years earlier than previously known.
The study, conducted by researchers from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) and the Fujian Institute of Geological Survey, was published in the latest issue of the journal Nature. (Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology/Handout via Xinhua)
