With severe below-freezing conditions and significant ice accumulation forecasted for this weekend, the City will open a warming station at the Brevard Fire Department (95 W Main, entrance opposite the post office on England Street) beginning Saturday morning.

The department will be open to the public Saturday (1/24) through Tuesday (1/27) between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m., providing a warm, indoor space for those without power to enjoy a hot beverage and charge their devices during the day.

Please note that this is not an emergency shelter, and it will not remain open overnight.

Additional information and updates will be announced here as they become available.

Good news! Signage design is moving forward for Phase 1 of the Ecusta Trail. Our Executive Director Laura shared visuals of orientation, etiquette, and interpretive sign concepts at the most recent RTAC meeting in Hendersonville. Trail users can expect to see QR codes, maps, mileage markers, and ADA-friendly placement, all coming soon!

There will also be two "Station" signs, one at 5th Avenue and one at Yale Road, where previous train stations were located. These signs will mark new covered shelters with seating, coming in during Phase 2 of construction.

Lots of momentum, thoughtful conversation, and continued collaboration as the Ecusta Trail grows, one step (and one sign!) at a time.

The myodural bridge (MDB) is a dense connective tissue bridge connecting the suboccipital muscles to the spinal dura mater, and it has been proven to be a normal common existing structure in humans and mammals. Some scholars believe that the suboccipital muscles can serve as a dynamic cerebrospinal....

Research finds “grandma hobbies” - traditional, slow-paced, hands-on activities like knitting, gardening and baking, provide significant health benefits and even lengthen lifespan.

🗂️Stress Reduction and “Activate Meditation”: Many traditional hobbies involve repetitive, rhythmic motions that induce a meditative state.

📑Cortisol Regulation: Activities like knitting and gardening lower cortisol (the stress hormone) and heart rates, moving the body out of “fight or flight” mode.

📑Neurochemical Boost: These activities can trigger the release of serotonin and dopamine, improving mood and promoting emotional balance similar to mindfulness meditation.

🗂️Cognitive Protection and Brain Health: Creative hobbies act as “full-body workout” for the brain, building cognitive reserve.

📑Neuroplasticity: Learning complex patterns in quilting or the science of fermentation builds new neural pathways, which can improve memory and executive function.

📑Dementia Prevention: Regular participation in cognitive hobbies is associated with a lower risk of dementia and slower age-related mental decline. One study suggests that hobbies like knitting can reduce dementia risk by up to 50%.

Two teenagers from Texas have developed a pen-sized device that uses sound waves to remove up to 90% of microplastics from water in a single pass. The device works by generating acoustic vibrations that cause microplastic particles to cluster together, making them easier to separate from water.

Unlike filters that clog or require replacement, this method uses physics instead of chemicals, making it energy-efficient and reusable. The prototype is small, portable, and could be scaled for household, industrial, or emergency use.

Their innovation earned them $50,000 in awards, but its real value lies in its potential. Microplastics are now found in oceans, drinking water, and even the human body — and removing them is one of the biggest environmental challenges of our time.

These teens proved that young minds aren’t just imagining the future — they’re actively cleaning it.

For decades, Alzheimer’s has been considered irreversible, with treatments only slowing decline.

A 2025 study in Cell Reports Medicine challenged this, showing advanced disease in mice could be reversed by restoring NAD⁺, a key molecule for cellular energy and neuronal health.

Using the compound P7C3-A20, researchers repaired synaptic function, reduced neuroinflammation, stabilized the blood–brain barrier, and fully restored learning and memory. Blood biomarkers of tau pathology also normalized, indicating true reversal rather than symptom masking.

While these findings are limited to animal models, they reveal that restoring brain energy balance could unlock the brain’s intrinsic repair potential, reframing Alzheimer’s as potentially reversible under the right conditions.

BOTTOM FACT : Restoring NAD⁺ in Alzheimer’s-like mouse models repaired synapses, reduced neuroinflammation, stabilized the blood–brain barrier, and restored memory function.
