New Drug Exposes Hidden Subtypes of Psychosis

A new study examining real-world hospital data reveals early indicators of who is most likely to benefit from Cobenfy, the first new schizophrenia drug mechanism approved in 50 years. Patients with strong negative symptoms responded best to the xanomeline–trospium combination, showing notable improvements in social behavior and mood.

New Study Uncovers the Structural Key to How Cells Ship Cargo

Researchers have identified a previously unknown “hook-like” domain in the tail of the kinesin-2 motor protein that explains how these molecular machines select the right cargo inside cells. Using cryo-electron microscopy and simulations, the team mapped the HAC domain’s atomic structure and showed how it binds both adaptor proteins and cargo, forming a highly specific recognition interface.

Meditation Retreat Sparks Rapid Brain & Immune System Changes

A week-long retreat combining meditation and mind-body healing produced significant changes in brain activity and blood biology, demonstrating how consciousness-based practices can transform physical health. Participants showed reduced default-mode activity, enhanced neural connectivity, elevated natural opioids, immune activation, and metabolic shifts—effects that extended beyond the brain into the entire body.

AI-Driven Brain Implant Brings “Two-Way” Artificial Vision Closer to Reality

Scientists have created an advanced visual neuroprosthesis that communicates bidirectionally with the brain, marking one of the biggest steps yet toward restoring functional vision. Unlike earlier devices, this closed-loop implant adapts in real time to neural activity, allowing the system and the brain to “learn” from each other.

Oxidative Stress May Drive Repetitive Behaviors Linked to Autism, OCD

A new study shows that oxidative stress—an imbalance between damaging molecules and antioxidants—may contribute to repetitive behaviors observed in mice, similar to those seen in autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia. Researchers found that higher levels of oxidative stress biomarkers, including glutathione and specific proteins, were linked to more severe stereotypies in young mice.

Early Trauma Hardwires the Brain for Aggression and Self-Harm

A new study reveals that aggression and self-harm share a biological foundation in the brain’s response to early-life trauma. Researchers discovered that trauma increases activity in calcium channels within a neural circuit connecting the nucleus reuniens and hippocampus, amplifying pain processing and impulsive behavior.

Your Neighborhood Could Influence Your Risk of Dementia

Researchers found that living in a socioeconomically deprived neighborhood can harm brain health as early as midlife. People from these areas showed more signs of small-vessel brain damage, slower thinking skills, and poorer control of lifestyle factors such as blood pressure, obesity, and sleep.

Brain’s Immune Cells Found to Protect Against Alzheimer’s Damage

Researchers have uncovered how the brain’s immune cells, called microglia, can act as protectors rather than destroyers in Alzheimer’s disease. By lowering the immune regulator PU.1, microglia began expressing lymphoid-like receptors that reduced inflammation and preserved cognitive function in mouse models.

Antibiotic Doxycycline May Cut Schizophrenia Risk

A large population-based study suggests that doxycycline, a common antibiotic, may reduce the risk of schizophrenia when prescribed to adolescents receiving mental health care. Researchers analyzed data from more than 56,000 young patients and found that those who took doxycycline had a 30–35% lower chance of developing schizophrenia later in life.

3D Brain Map Reveals How Inflammation Reawakens Developmental Genes

Researchers have developed the most detailed molecular map yet of how the brain develops and reacts to inflammation, revealing that disease processes can “reawaken” genes from early life. Using a new spatial tri-omics technique, the team tracked how gene activity, epigenetic changes, and protein production interact in specific brain regions.

AI Creates the Most Detailed 3D Map of the Human Brain Ever Made

A new AI-powered atlas called NextBrain allows researchers to visualize the human brain in unprecedented detail, down to hundreds of tiny subregions previously invisible on MRI scans. Built from 10,000 microscopic slices of post-mortem brains and aligned with AI, the atlas precisely maps 333 brain regions in 3D.

AI Can Spot Lies, But Not as Well as Humans Can

A large-scale study tested whether AI personas can detect when humans are lying—and found that while AI can sometimes spot deception, it’s still far from trustworthy. Across 12 experiments involving 19,000 AI participants, the systems performed inconsistently, showing a strong bias toward identifying lies rather than truths.
