There was relief for Erik ten Hag and Manchester United after a late 2-1 comeback win against Brentford. But the wild celebrations that greeted the final whistle at Old Trafford did not disguise the problems that continue to plague the 20-time league champions and prompted Ten Hag to demand action from his players. Two stoppage-time goals from substitute Scott McTominay got his manager out of a hole and secured a much-needed win. United was on course for a seventh loss of a season that was threatening to unravel.

The same neurons that help bats navigate through space may also help them navigate collective social environments, finds a new study published today in the journal Nature. Many mammals — including bats and humans — are believed to navigate with the help of a brain structure called the hippocampus, which encodes a mental "map" of familiar surroundings. For example, as you walk around your neighborhood or commute to work, individual "place" neurons in the hippocampus fire to indicate where you are.

Physician-scientists from the University of Alabama at Birmingham Marnix E. Heersink School of Medicine recently conducted a large-scale analysis to assess the impact of a newly introduced equation used to evaluate one's heart failure risk. The study, published in the Journal of Cardiac Failure , showed that the new and old kidney function equations had comparable values in predicting the risk of heart failure. Naman Shetty, M.D., a clinical research fellow in the UAB Division of Cardiovascular Disease and the first author of this manuscript, explained that, since kidney function cannot be measured directly, equations were created to measure kidney function using the circulating levels of waste products such as creatinine.
