A new review suggests psychedelic treatments, particularly psilocybin, may be more effective for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) than cannabis-based therapies. The review, led by Dr Michael Van Ameringen of McMaster University and published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research, examined alternative treatments for OCD, a condition in which up to 60% of patients gain little relief from standard therapies such as SSRIs and exposure therapy. After analysing published studies, conference data and preliminary findings, researchers found stronger evidence supporting psychedelics than cannabinoids like THC and CBD. Van Ameringen said the difference may lie in how the substances affect the brain.…

EU fisheries ministers concluded two days of discussions with a binding agreement on fishing quotas for 2026.

Fishing effort combines vessel size, engine power, and the number of days spent at sea. After intensive talks, all 27 Member States reached a compromise balancing scientific guidance with economic viability. Danish fisheries…

Scientists have identified genetic changes in polar bears that could help them adapt to rising temperatures, offering new insight into how the species may respond to climate change. Researchers from the University of East Anglia found that polar bears in south-east Greenland show distinct genetic activity compared with bears in colder northern regions. The study links warmer local temperatures to increased activity in so-called “jumping genes” — mobile DNA elements that can influence how other genes function. These genetic shifts are associated with heat stress, metabolism and ageing, suggesting the bears may be biologically adjusting to warmer conditions and changing…
