## Resource

New research suggests your missing high school memories may not be erased — just locked away by a dramatic brain remodeling process that happens during adolescence. Scientists have also found that a single human neuron may be capable of computations powerful enough to rival an entire deep neural network, throwing our assumptions about AI into question. A CRISPR-based treatment has shown it can make prostate cancer visible to the immune system again, while a surprising MIT study reveals that ketogenic diets may fight cancer in one part of the intestine while accelerating it in another. Astronomers have discovered giant planets less dense than cotton candy, and researchers are uncovering how an 800-million-year-old asteroid collision may have reshaped life on Earth.
