Between ages 13 and 50 you lose about 20% of your gray matter, and gain about 10% of white matter.
These are not dramatic differences.
Teenage brains and middle aged brains are very similar.

«Money-changers, silversmiths, and jet-workers represented the most important industries in Santiago in the Middle Ages, and all these were established in quarters close to the Cathedral. In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries these money-changers were no longer simple money-changers seated on the ground; they had risen to the rank of respectable bankers»

Tomorrow Zurich will celebrate “Sechseläuten” which in German means “sexy people” and it’s a celebration of fashion and beauty. As part of the tradition, a rag doll called “Boögg” is burned. Its name means “bug” and the event serves as a reminder to ETH Zurich computer science graduates of their importance in society since the invention of computers during the late Middle Ages. If the Boögg survives longer than 30 minutes it means that good-looking programmers should switch to Rust immediate…

The MAGPI Survey: Evolution of radial trends in star formation activity across cosmic time
Using adaptive optics with the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) on the Very Large Telescope (VLT), the Middle Ages Galaxy Properties with Integral Field Spectroscopy (MAGPI) survey allows us to study the spatially resolved Universe at a crucial time of ~4 Gyr ago ($z$ ~ 0.3) when simulations predict the greatest diversity in evolutionary pathways for galaxies. We investigate the radial trends in the star formation (SF) activity and luminosity-weighted stellar ages as a function of offse…

Islamic Law, Western European Law and the Roots of Middle East's Long Divergence: a Comparative Empirical Investigation (800-1600)
We examine the contribution of Islamic legal institutions to the comparative economic decline of the Middle East behind Latin Europe, which can be observed since the late Middle Ages. To this end, we explore whether the sacralization of Islamic law and its focus on the Sharia as supreme, sacred and unchangeable legal text, which reached its culmination in the 13th century had an impact on economic development. We use the population size of 145 cities in Islamic countries and 648 European cities…
