The term "blind as a bat" is not only wrong, it is a complete contradiction, since few creatures see as well as bats. Their use of both sound and vision to locate objects gives them a wide advantage over other nocturnal flying predators.

While schizophrenia has been recognized as a medical condition decades ago, very little is known about the condition and treatment is only successful in 50% of cases. A recent Israeli study has shed light on new ways of discovering and treating the condition.

A recent study from Tel Aviv University has shown that poor people are more than twice as likely to have a bad recovery from a heart attack than people who are better-off. This means they are more likely to become frail and develop further health problems.

A researcher at Tel Aviv University may have found a mathematical path to the fountain of youth. Combining genetics and computer science, the algorithm could pave the way to creating drugs that prolong life expectancy.

Are you an avid gum-chewer? Do you experience frequent headaches? If you answered "yes" to both questions, then chances are that the former causes the latter. A new Israeli study has shown that for young people with chronic headaches, giving up gum is the magic trick.

What caused the decline of the great civilizations of the Bronze Age in the Levant? This question was an enduring mystery, until a team of Israeli and German researchers harvested ancient pollen from the bottom of Israel's lakes to find the answer.

In various research centers around the world, there's a microscopic war raging: The one between constantly evolving bacteria and modern medicine. A recent breakthrough from Tel Aviv University may have given the latter a new edge.

With no known cure, Alzheimer's Disease is still the most common form of dementia and a leading cause of death among people 65 and older. Now, a team of Israeli researchers have made progress with a finding that may help diagnose the disease as early as at the age of 30, and treat it accordingly.

Completing a triathlon is one of the hardest feats in sports and, as is the case with many physical competitions, requires a high pain endurance threshold. Researchers who studied triathletes have found that they feel pain differently than other people, experiencing it with less intensity.

You may believe that recycling is a modern quirk invented by leftist ecologists, but there is mounting evidence to suggest our prehistoric ancestors learned to recycle the objects they used in their daily lives.

The reality of ALS is painful. It's a condition that causes the muscles to degenerate gradually, leading to death with several years. An Israeli study is now showing significant results in what may be a breakthrough for sufferers of the neurodegenerative disease.

As more information is gathered on Alzheimer's disease, it is now accepted that a protein called amyloid-beta has a key role in the disease's progression. New research done in Tel Aviv uses electricity to balance the protein's levels in the brain.

More than a century after it was devised, Einstein's theory of relativity still makes the headlines. A team of Israeli researchers has used a method based on the theory to discover a previously unknown planet outside the solar system.

Until today, schizophrenia could only be physically diagnosed after a patient's death. For the first time, Israeli researchers have found a way to biologically detect schizophrenia by analyzing tissue from the patient's nose.

Israeli researchers have made a discovery that may very well ease the lives of many people suffering from back pain. As a recent study reveals, walking three times a week is just as effective for pain-relief as in-clinic treatment.
