A groundbreaking study identifies a "master switch" molecule, miR-181d, that controls the chaotic behavior of glioblastoma cells.

A new study finds the hippocampus reorganizes memories to predict rewards. This discovery explains how the brain learns and why Alzheimer's affects decision-making.

A new study challenges the long-standing belief that episodic and semantic memory rely on distinct brain systems.

Summary: New research following children for more than a decade links high screen exposure before age two to accelerated brain maturation, slower decision-making, and increased anxiety by adolescence.

Summary: A new theoretical framework argues that the long-standing split between computational functionalism and biological naturalism misses how real brains actually compute. The authors propose ...

Summary: A new review explores how episodic memories are formed, stored, and reshaped over time, revealing why our recollections of past events often change. Rather than functioning like fixed files, ...

Summary: Researchers identified five major phases of human brain wiring that unfold from birth to old age, marked by four major turning points at ages 9, 32, 66, and 83. Childhood and adolescence are ...

Summary: Researchers have discovered that problems with the brain’s waste-clearing system—the glymphatic system—may significantly raise the risk of developing dementia. In one of the largest studies ...

Summary: A new study identifies brain area 46 in the marmoset dorsolateral prefrontal cortex as a key regulator of mood-related behavior. When this region was inactivated, the animals showed less ...

Summary: A large-scale meta-analysis of 33 studies has shown that highly sensitive individuals are more prone to common mental health problems, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and avoidant ...

Summary: Children exposed to more green space before birth and during early childhood have a lower risk of neurodevelopmental disorders, a new study shows. Analysis of over 1.8 million mother–child ...

Summary: A new study reveals that metabolic health, particularly modest increases in blood sugar, plays a bigger role than age or testosterone in declining sexual and reproductive function in men.
