New MRI breakthrough could spot hidden optic nerve damage before vision loss
Standard MRI scans can show the structure of the brain and eye sockets, but they cannot reveal subtle damage to the microscopic fibres of the optic nerve - changes that may appear before irreversible vision loss. Polish researchers have developed a new method of analysing MRI images that could help doctors detect this hidden damage earlier and make more informed treatment decisions.

Ancient Egyptian rock art reveals two very different relationships between humans and animals
For thousands of years, prehistoric artists in Egypt’s Dakhleh Oasis carved humans and animals into desert rocks — but they did not always tell the same story. Some images show people and wildlife existing side by side in harmony, while others portray hunting, control and violence.
