Cracking a 3,000-Year-Old Mystery: Rare Burials Reveal Secrets of the Late Bronze Age Evidence from rare burials shows Late Bronze Age Central European communities adapted through exchange, shifting diets, and diverse burial practices rather than large-scale migration. A new interdisciplinary study published in Nature Communications offers the first detailed biomolecular and archaeological perspective on the lives of people in Central Europe during the Late Bronze Age (ca. 1300–800 [...]

Your Brain Can Be Tricked Into Enjoying Artificial Sweeteners Can your expectations change how sweet something tastes or how much you enjoy it? A nutrition label can shape your experience before you take the first sip. In a study in JNeurosci, Elena Mainetto (Radboud University), Margaret Westwater (University of Oxford), and researchers at the University of Cambridge tested whether expectations alone could change how [...]
