The Driven
An exciting new study out of the University of Toronto has revealed that Electric Vehicles (EVs) dramatically reduce air pollution and lessen costly health problems associated with it. The world-first study found that switching to an EV could reduce air pollutant emissions by up to 93%, reducing both short-term morbidity and mortality from air pollution, as well as long-term illnesses such as asthma, heart failure, and stroke. Additionally, the study found that EVs also produce lower noise levels than traditional combustion vehicles, leading to a reduction in stress levels and potential increases in physical activity in areas with higher traffic. All this adds up to less money spent on medical costs related to air pollution, making EVs a great choice for public health and the environment.

Brain imaging techniques have revealed a lot about how the brain works—but there's only so much you can learn by getting a person to lie still in a brain scanner for half an hour. Avniel Ghuman and Maxwell Wang at the University of Pittsburgh wanted to know what happens in the longer term. After all, the symptoms of many neurological disorders can develop over hours or days, says Wang.
