Extreme heat and humidity could soon claim tens-of-thousands of lives every year in the United States alone. And by 2100, a summer in New York City might feel more like a trip to southern Florida. Researchers say a dramatic rise in 'danger days' will occur over the next few decades if greenhouse gas emissions aren't soon reduced - and for Texas, Florida, and the Southwest, the effects are already beginning to set in. The map on the left reveals how 45 of the Lower 48 states have experienced warming temperatures since then 1970s. On the right, the maps show how New York City and San Francisco could become much hotter by the end of the century.

Researchers have developed a method to measure how the brain responds to electrical stimulation and use the response to maximize efficacy of deep brain stimulation (DBS) -- a therapy that has been successfully used to treat advanced stages of Parkinson's disease. The study provides a patient specific approach to tuning parameters that may dramatically improve efficacy of deep brain stimulation.

Researchers have revealed a role for orexin neurons of the hypothalamus in regulating the response to harmful stimuli in mice. Painful stimuli activated orexin neurons, except in mice that were anesthetized. Mice bred to lack orexin neurons were hypersensitive to such stimuli, while those with artificially activated orexin neurons demonstrated reduced responses to pain. These findings suggest a link between response to stimuli and consciousness that is regulated by neurons producing orexin.

The human body is controlled by electrical impulses in the brain, the heart and nervous system. These electrical signals create tiny magnetic fields, which doctors could use to diagnose various diseases, for example diseases of the brain or heart problems in young fetuses. Researchers have now succeeded in developing a method for extremely precise measurements of such ultra-small magnetic fields with an optical magnetic field sensor.

Renegade Republicans Endorse Social Security Tax Increase, Get The Hell Out Of Washington

Democrats on Friday quickly seized on Donald Trump's selection of Mike Pence as his running mate, attacking him for his conservative record and promotion of traditional values. Republicans, however, widely praised the decision.
Donald Trump and his new running mate, Mike Pence, might not agree on everything. But they share at least one common Republican view: The idea that cutting taxes boosts the economy.<img src
Jeb Bush is carrying his crusade against Donald Trump to the doorstep of the Republican convention, saying that he is not the future of the Republican Party even as it prepares to nominate him.
Mike Pence brings connections and appeal to a cross-section of the Republican Party's wealthiest financiers to the ticket with Donald Trump, but he nevertheless is unlikely going to convert those into big dollars for the fall campaign, according to interviews with donors and operatives deeply tied to big-money networks.

Writers, entrepreneurs, and creative leaders of all types know that intense focus that happens when you're "in the zone": You're feeling empowered, productive, and engaged. Psychologists might call this flow, the experience of zeroing in so closely on some activity that you lose yourself in it. And this immersive state, as it turns out, also happens to be something that some adults with ADHD commonly experience.

The Somali wild ass has been around for thousands of years, but today less than 700 remain in the wild. These relatives of the donkey top out at around four feet tall, and can reach speeds of up to 30 miles per hour. At one point, they roamed across the entire Arabian Peninsula, but now, only a few populations remain scattered around East Africa. They’ve been hunted to near extinction for their meat and medicinal purposes. But if there's one thing this animal is, it's a survivor.
