We’ll open the good news flash with our corner – what is it? Well, mind you, what you’re watching right now is a jellyfish – from the inside.
Scientists have introduced, as part of a new model for neuroscience, light flashing into jellyfish to see how they function without a brain. Surprisingly, even without their brains, jellyfish can perform complex actions, and now researchers can also spy on and track their actions, thus understanding them more, under a microscope.
Unlike humans, where the brain serves as the body’s control center, jellyfish carry a scattered “network” of nerves that radiates to the center of their body. But how exactly does it work?
Scientists have coded a protein that can be seen when it comes in contact with calcium, and it glows when there is nerve activity. Thus the jellyfish became a living light show in the study, and most importantly: the researchers were able to emulate and study them.
And what did they learn? Jellyfish have a particularly high level of organization within their nervous network, especially when it comes to food.
And now to Pakistan. The breeding season has begun, and the shores of Pakistan have begun to fill up with large and small sea turtles looking for their way to the waters of the Arabian Sea.
The tranquility of the beaches that came in the wake of the corona plague allowed sea turtles to take the opportunity and return to their birthplace in large numbers, to lay their thousands of eggs during the breeding season that occurs during these months.
Local authorities help breed the turtles and preserve the species, so as soon as the laying is complete, the team finds the eggs and transfers them to a pit about three meters deep until they hatch about 40 days later. So the little turtles are immediately taken to shore and released into the sea. To date, this special unit has released no less than 860,000 turtles into the Arabian Sea.
And finally, pay attention to the following video. Location: Siva Oasis in Egypt, Time: November 2021. Man: Cain Naubo; An avid hiker who decided to swim in a small salt pool in the heart of a desert. The place was inhabited by people as early as 12,000 years ago, but the area remains relatively isolated.
Naobo travels the world, visiting a new country every month. For two years he planned this frame on his visit to North Africa, but this was postponed and postponed due to the limitations of the corona. Last month he finally succeeded.
