"Aging Clock Unveils Compounds That Rejuvenate Brain Cells Researchers created a brain-specific aging clock that reveals the biological age of brain cells and highlights compounds that could make them younger. By analyzing gene expression patterns the clock accurately measured aging in neurons and identified XXX potential rejuvenating interventions. Many compounds already have known effects on brain health while others are entirely new candidates. In tests on aged mice three predicted compounds improved memory reduced anxiety and shifted gene activity toward a younger profile. This suggests"

"Why Your Baby Cries: Its Largely Written in Their Genes A new twin study shows that how much an infant cries is primarily driven by genetics rather than parenting or environment. Researchers followed 1000 twin pairs and found that at X months old genetics explained about XX% of crying behavior rising to XX% by X months. This suggests parents have limited influence over how much their baby cries which may help reduce feelings of guilt or inadequacy. In contrast night wakings and the time it takes for infants to settle were more influenced by environmental factors. These findings highlight that"

"How Stress Sounds Amplify Pain and Inflammation Pain isnt just a personal experienceit can be socially transmitted through sound. A new study shows that ultrasonic stress sounds emitted by individuals in pain can trigger heightened pain sensitivity in others.

Importantly this sound stress worsened existing pain and even reduced the effectiveness of pain relief. The findings suggest that our environments including stressful sounds can shape how we perceive and experience pain."

"How the Brain Decides to Flee or Freeze Researchers have pinpointed a brain circuit that determines whether an animal freezes or flees in response to danger. By studying two closely related mouse species they discovered that the dorsal periaqueductal gray (dPAG) acts as a neural switch calibrated by habitat. Forest-dwelling mice have a hypersensitive dPAG prompting instant flight while open-field mice have a less sensitive one favoring freezing. The team confirmed this by artificially activating or silencing dPAG neurons to flip behavioral responses. Their findings show that evolution"

"Green Space Lowers Developmental Risks Growing up near green spaces may protect children from neurodevelopmental disorders. A large study of over XXX million motherchild pairs found that higher exposure to vegetation before birth and during early childhood was linked to lower rates of ADHD autism and learning delays. The benefits were strongest when green space was accessible during pregnancy and early years suggesting these are critical periods for brain development. Notably children in urban areas and those from minority groups saw the greatest protective effects. These findings highlight"

"Hormones Shape Love and Lust Differently in Male & Female Brains Researchers have uncovered how a specific brain circuit in the prefrontal cortex drives sex-specific social and reproductive behaviors. The study reveals that identical neural circuits produce opposite effects in males and females depending on hormonal states and biological sex. In female mice the circuit integrates oxytocin and ovarian hormone signals to promote receptivity and interest in mating during fertile periods. In males however activation of the same circuit suppresses sexual interest. This discovery highlights how"

"Face-Like Objects Hijack Our Attention More Than Real Gazes Face pareidoliathe tendency to see faces in everyday objectsdoes more than amuse us; it significantly affects our attention. A new study found that imagined faces in objects can direct gaze just as powerfully as real human eye movements. Unlike real faces which guide attention through specific features like eye direction pareidolia relies on holistic structure to draw the viewer in. Participants consistently followed the gaze of face-like objects during experimental tasks. This heightened response suggests the brain treats these"

"Tiny AI Models Reveal How We Really Make Decisions Humans and animals dont always make perfect decisions and that imperfection is revealing. Researchers developed small interpretable AI models to study decision-making finding they better captured real-world flawed strategies than traditional models. These tiny neural networks successfully predicted choices in humans primates and rats including suboptimal patterns often overlooked by optimality-based theories. The simplicity of these models also made it easier to understand the strategies behind the decisions. Their findings highlight how"

"Neurons Store Backup Energy to Power the Brain Under Stress Neurons have long been thought to depend entirely on support cells for their energy needs. However a new study shows neurons store their own glycogen acting as emergency fuel during metabolic stress. Using C. elegans worms and advanced biosensors researchers discovered neurons activate glycogen reserves when oxygen is low or mitochondria are impaired. This backup system called glycogen-dependent glycolytic plasticity helps neurons stay functional under adverse conditions. The findings reshape the understanding of how the brain fuels"

"Dogs Can Sniff Out Parkinsons Disease A groundbreaking study shows trained dogs can accurately detect Parkinsons disease (PD) by smelling skin swabs. In rigorous double-blind trials the dogs achieved up to XX% sensitivity and XX% specificity even when patients had other medical conditions. Researchers say this points to a unique olfactory biomarker of PD detectable well before visible symptoms emerge. The dogs were trained over weeks to distinguish between swabs from PD patients and healthy controls with impressive consistency. These findings could pave the way for a quick affordable and"

"Hepatitis C Found in Brain Lining Linked to Schizophrenia Bipolar Disorder A new study reveals hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the brain lining of people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder suggesting infection may play a role in these psychiatric conditions. Researchers analyzed postmortem brain samples and found HCV in the choroid plexus a structure producing cerebrospinal fluid but not in the brain tissue itself. This presence correlated with altered gene expression in memory-related brain areas. Electronic health records confirmed HCV rates in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder patients"

"Old Injuries Rewire the Brain to Feel Fear and Pain Forever A new study reveals that past injuries can cause long-lasting changes in how the brain and body respond to stress. Even after physical healing the nervous system may remain hypersensitive amplifying fear and pain in response to future threats. In mice exposure to predator scent triggered exaggerated fear and persistent pain even in uninjured areas months after an initial wound. Researchers traced this effect to a feedback loop involving the stress hormone corticosterone and the TRPA1 receptor often linked to burning pain. Notably"
