More than 100 people have died this month as countries across the region experience extreme rainfall.
More than 100 people have died across Asia this month as the vast region experiences an intense monsoon season.
"It's raining like never before," a spokesman for Japan's meteorological agency said, as cities around the country logged record amounts of rain. Japanese authorities had earlier in the week evacuated more than 420,000 residents from two prefectures in Kyushu island.Meanwhile in Seoul, 135 people were evacuated early Friday as torrential rain hit the South Korean capital, causing power cuts across 4,000 households.
He also warned officials to "thoroughly prepare" for the possibility of North Korea releasing water from a dam near the inter-Korean border after the country also received heavy rain. In the capital Delhi, sections of the subway system have been shut down, putting more pressure on flooded roads in the country's second-most populous city.

Frontiers | Boost your brain: a simple 100% normobaric oxygen treatment improves human motor learning processesHuman motor learning processes are a fundamental part of our daily lives and can be adversely affected by neurologic conditions. Motor learning largely depends on successfully integrating cognitive and motor-related sensory information, and a simple, easily accessible treatment that could enhance such processes would be exciting and clinically impactful. Normobaric 100% oxygen treatment (NbOxTr) is often used as a first-line intervention to improve survival rates of brain cells in neurological trauma, and recent work indicates that improvements in elements crucial for cognitive-motor-related functions can occur during NbOxTr. However, whether NbOxTr can enhance the motor learning processes of healthy human brains is unknown. Here, we investigated whether a brief NbOxTr administered via nasal cannula improves motor learning processes during a visuomotor adaptation task where participants adapt to a visual distortion between visual feedback and hand movements. 40 healthy young adults (M=21 yrs.) were randomly assigned to a NbOxTr (N=20; 100% oxygen) or air (N=20; regular air) group and went through four typical visuomotor adaptation phases (Baseline, Adaptation, After-effect, Refresher). Gas treatment (flow rate 5 L/min) was only administered during the Adaptation phase of the visuomotor experiment, in both groups. The NbOxTr provided during the Adaptation phase lead to significantly faster and about 30% improved learning (p|0.05). Notably, these motor learning improvements consolidated into the subsequent experiment phases, i.e., after the gas treatment was terminated (p|0.05). We conclude that this simple and brief NbOxTr dramatically improved fundamental human motor leanring processes and may provide promising potential for neurorehabilitation and skill-learning approaches. Further studies should investigate whether similar improvements exist in elderly and neurologically impaired individuals, other motor learning tasks, and also long-lasting effects.
