Economic policy after the election: less state control, a simplified tax system and improving the education system

The managing directors of the Mittelstand companies in Germany wish more reliable framework conditions and fewer controlling directives. This is one of the results of the current survey conducted by the IfM Bonn in the SME sector. At the same time, the SME sector hopes for a simplification of the tax system and a qualitative improvement of the education system in Germany.

Stress alters neuronal balance in the developing brain

Infections, chemicals, stress – these environmental factors influence the risk of developing psychiatric or neurological disorders, especially if they occur before birth. The biological mechanisms behind this are still not fully understood. Researchers investigated the impact of glucocorticoids, a type of steroid hormone, on the early stages of brain development. They found a shift in neuron types, showing that the developing brain is more susceptible to external influences than previously thought.
