In March, a concerning discovery was made in the dairy industry: cows were becoming infected with the H5N1 influenza virus. This revelation has raised alarm among public health officials and researchers worldwide. Scientists fear that if cows become hosts for flu viruses, it could lead to another pandemic.

Previous outbreaks of avian influenza primarily affected birds, but recent infections in mammals suggest that the virus may be adapting and moving closer to becoming a human pathogen. Pigs have been closely monitored for signs of infection due to their susceptibility to bird flu viruses, but until now, cows were not considered potential hosts.

Researchers from the US and Denmark investigated how the H5N1 virus was infecting cows. Their findings indicate that cows have receptors for flu viruses similar to those

“Memory is the diary that we all carry with us.”

This is how the Irish writer Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) defined memory.

However, with age, some pages of this journal may be misplaced or lost. It’s not only disconcerting, it’s also painful.

Professor Charan Ranganath, director of the Dynamic Memory Laboratory at the University of California (US) and one of the leading neuroscientists studying memory, says it is possible to minimize the risk of this happening.

In an interview with BBC Mundo, the author of the book “Why We Remember: The New Science of Memory” identified four bad habits that most of us adopt and which, according to him, affect the capacity of our brain to remember things.

And he proposed a road map to fix it.

1. lack of rest

With age, men tend to sleep fewer hours and, as if that were not enough, professional, financial and health problems can affect the quality of sleep, a combination that can be very detrimental to health .

“We now know that the brain has a system that drains the toxins that accumulate there, including the amyloid protein, involved in the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. This system turns on at night,” Mr. Ranganath said.

The neuroscientist, who has spent 25 years studying how the brain works, explains that sleep also has a restorative function.

“If a person doesn’t get enough sleep, the frontal function of the brain is reduced, as is their level of stress tolerance, and therefore they are not able to concentrate properly,” he said.

However, during the night, the brain not only eliminates harmful elements and recharges the batteries, it also organizes our memory.

“During sleep, memory is reactivated and this is what many attribute the origin of dreams (…) Sleeping facilitates the retention of information that we have learned,” added the specialist.

Not using phones or computers, avoiding large meals and drinks containing alcohol and caffeine before going to bed are some of the recommendations made by Mr Ranganath to try to get a good night’s sleep.

And for those who, for one reason or another, have trouble sleeping at night, the expert said a nap during the day can also be very beneficial.

” Advantages [du sommeil] for memory can also be obtained during the day,” he said.
