Medication dispensing patterns in England shifted during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, according to an analysis in Nature Health.

The use of some treatments recovered to or exceeded pre-pandemic levels, including medications for cardiovascular disease and diabetes; the use of others, such as those for gastrointestinal and mental health conditions, remained lower.

A paper in Nature Medicine presents an intracortical brain–computer interface (BCI) that enables long-term, independent speech-based communication and computer use in an individual with severe paralysis.

The findings address longstanding challenges that have limited high-performance BCI usage to highly controlled settings and show that they could be used as practical assistive tools in everyday life.

Radioisotopic age constraints and numerical simulations on the duration of hydrothermal activity associated with the Chicxulub impact structure indicate the system was active for 8 million years, four times longer than previous estimates, according to a paper in Communications Earth & Environment.

A study in Nature Communications demonstrates that counterclockwise bias in roaming pedestrians is a robust and reproducible feature and originates from individual tendencies rather than from collective interactions.

A feature in Nature reports how researchers are making headway in understanding the freezing process, including capturing the first few microseconds of the process. It turns out that disorder plays a bigger part in freezing than scientists had thought.

Jacques Cornwell describes in Nature a seven-step framework to help bridge the gap from passively reading a research paper to actively analysing it. “Although there is no universal framework for pulling apart a dense primary paper, having a consistent method is crucial.”

The appearance of the first animals in the late Ediacaran period was followed by a period of slow diversification. A study in Nature Ecology & Evolution concludes that widespread asexual reproduction via stolon probably constrained early animal evolution, limiting diversification until the onset of widespread sexual reproduction.
