Did you know? Stanford University made a groundbreaking advance with COSMOS, a bifocal microscopy technique that captures real-time movies of neural activity across the entire cerebral cortex of a mouse brain. By filming from three angles and computationally extracting the signals, they created a live video showing the brain's macroscopic activity, revealing the dynamic "electrical storm" of brain function in action.

Did you know? Originally developed in Switzerland, the HypoCat™ vaccine helps to reduce cat allergies by neutralizing Fel D 1, the protein most responsible for causing allergic reactions to cat dander in humans. When given to cats, the vaccine triggers their immune system to create antibodies against Fel D 1. Results from four separate studies have reported that the HypoCat™ vaccine caused no negative side effects for cats. The vaccine is projected to be available in the U.S. by the end of 2024. A similar vaccine for dogs is currently in the early stages of development.
