Looking through the door of meth labs

Looking through the door of meth labs: Methamphetamine ‘cooks’ in domestic labs are most likely to be male, Caucasian and about 30 years’ old, according to University of Queensland researchers. Their study included 125 cooks from 24 countries, providing some insight into the illicit activity characterised in the popular television series Breaking Bad. Dr Cheneal Puljević from […]

University of Queensland: fish give insight on sound sensitivity in autism

A tiny fish is helping scientists understand how the human brain processes sound, while also giving insight to autism spectrum disorder. Scientists at The University of Queensland used zebrafish that carry the same genetic mutations as humans with Fragile X syndrome and autism, and discovered the neural networks and pathways that produce the hypersensitivities to sound in […]
