Multilingualism Calculator Reveals True Language Strengths

A new study introduces a multilingualism calculator that quantifies how multilingual a person truly is, offering a clearer alternative to vague labels like “bilingual.” By combining age of acquisition with self-rated listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills across languages, the tool generates both a multilingualism score and a language-dominance profile.

Study Reveals the Selfish Side of Karmic Belief

A new study reveals people apply karma differently to themselves and others. While individuals view their own positive experiences as karmic rewards, they tend to interpret others' suffering as deserved punishment.

Swelling Along Brain’s Axons May Be True Culprit in Alzheimer’s Disease

The formation of plaques can cause the accumulation of spheroid-shaped swellings along axons near the amyloid plaque deposits. The swellings are caused by lysosomes, which digest cellular waste. As the swelling enlarges, it can block the transmission of signals from one area of the brain to another.
