Even more surprisingly, supplementing with a simple amino acid called D-serine improved memory and learning, offering a potential new approach to age-related cognitive decline.

iPhone 18 Pro Max review: a safe upgrade
For the first decade of the iPhone, Apple followed a “tick-tock” strategy for updating its smartphones, borrowed from Intel. And no, it is in no way related to the popular short-video service today. During the “tick” cycle, a new iPhone received design updates and some new features, while the “tock” cycle involved component updates, but the design itself remained unchanged. As competition in the smartphone market increased, this strategy stopped working, but Apple never fully abandoned it. So this year we have a classic “tock” moment: the new iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max have the same design down to the millimeter, but they carry significant platform and camera changes. And on the less pleasant side, the price has increased. So is this year’s Pro series update worth buyers' attention? To answer that, I used the iPhone 18 Pro Max for over a week, and I’m sharing my experience.
