First time reading? American Fact of the Day! Absolutely! On August 27, 1962, the iconic American rock band The Beach Boys released their album Surfin’ Safari. This album was one of their early successes and helped establish their signature sound of surf rock, capturing the carefree spirit of the Californian surf culture and propelling the band into the spotlight. Breaking Updates Cannabis Revealed to Have Anti-Aging Effect in The Brains of Mice A new study has found that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, can reverse conventional signs of brain aging in mice. This research, conducted by teams from Germany and Israel, builds on existing knowledge about the endocannabinoid system and its links to cognitive decline. The study demonstrated that THC affects brain aging through a signaling pathway involving the mTOR protein, which regulates cell metabolism and the metabolome. Specifically, THC treatment enhanced mTOR activity in the brain and boosted the production of proteins necessary for new synapse formation, while also reducing mTOR activity in fat tissue similar to the effects of a calorie-restricted diet. These findings suggest that THC has the potential to both improve cognitive functions and exert anti-aging effects. The study used both young and older mice to show that THC enhances brain health by increasing energy and synaptic protein production and decreasing mTOR activity in peripheral tissues. While these results are promising, indicating that THC might delay the onset of dementia and improve brain function, further research in humans is needed. The dual effects on mTOR signaling and the metabolome could potentially lead to new treatments for maintaining brain health in aging, but it is important to balance these benefits with the known risks associated with cannabis use.

This move contrasts with the muted microphone rule from the June debate between President Biden and Trump, which was intended to curb Trump's interruptions. Harris's campaign believes that allowing Trump to speak without restrictions could lead to self-sabotage and provide a chance to showcase Harris's ability to handle his contentious style. Trump’s team is resisting the open-mic proposal, though Trump himself has indicated that he is not opposed to losing the mute button. This debate is viewed as a crucial opportunity for both candidates: Harris aims to demonstrate strength and control, while Trump seeks to recover momentum after Biden’s withdrawal and capitalize on Harris’s perceived vulnerability. Harris’s debate strategy echoes her famous 2020 line to Mike Pence, "Mr. Vice President, I’m speaking," which became a viral moment highlighting her ability to assert herself. The debate's format reflects broader strategic battles, with Harris hoping that an open mic will highlight Trump’s shortcomings and reinforce her campaign's message of moving beyond divisive politics.
