Scientists have uncovered a hidden layer of organization in the brain by creating the first detailed 3D map of its lipids, the fatty molecules essential for brain structure and communication. By analyzing millions of measurements from mouse brains, researchers identified 539 distinct chemical zones, revealing patterns and boundaries that traditional brain maps have missed. Surprisingly, even white matter, once thought to be relatively uniform, contains a complex patchwork of chemically distinct regions.

Deep in the forests of southwest China, scientists have discovered a ‘fungal giant’ that challenges our understanding of how large fungi can become. The newly described species, Dianjunus rex, or “King of Dian,” named for an ancient Chinese kingdom, produces vertical fruiting bodies up to 20 inches high and weighing up to 5 pounds. Scientists […] The post Scientists Shocked to Discover ‘D-rex’, a Giant Fungus from Chinese Forests Dating Back 65 Million Years appeared first on Good News Network.
