Summary: People who naturally stay up late, so-called “night owls”, are more likely to experience faster cognitive decline than those who are early risers, according to a long-term study. Research...
Summary: Researchers studying the tiny roundworm C. elegans have uncovered a surprising mechanism by which a single brain signal controls both falling asleep and waking up. The chemical messenger FLP�...
Summary: A new study suggests that SSRIs, commonly prescribed antidepressants, may reduce biological markers of Alzheimers disease. In a cohort of 191 individuals, AD patients on SSRIs had lower leve�...
Summary: A newly developed lab-designed molecule, JM2, may offer a promising therapy to combat glioblastoma recurrence by targeting the tumors most resilient cells. Researchers discovered that gliobl�...
Summary: A leading figure in molecular psychiatry shares how curiosity about DNA led to a career focused on unraveling the biological roots of neurodevelopmental conditions like ADHD. By bridging gen�...
Summary: A new study reveals that caffeine increases the complexity of brain activity during sleep, especially in younger adults, potentially disrupting the brains ability to recover overnight. Resea�...
Summary: Despite modern lighting and lifestyle, human sleep patterns remain deeply influenced by seasonal changes in sunlight. New research reveals that our circadian rhythms track daylight shifts ac�...
Summary: A new computational model has mapped the brains vesicle cycle in unprecedented detail, providing fresh insight into how nerve cells communicate. Researchers collaborated to simulate how vesi�...
Summary: New research reveals that mice use not only touch but also sound to navigate their environments through whisking. These whisker-generated sounds are processed by the auditory cortex, even wh�...
Summary: Engineers have developed a novel dental floss device that can detect cortisol, a hormone linked to stress, through saliva, offering a painless, real-time method for stress monitoring. The de...
