New Math Method Inflates Alzheimer’s Drug Success by 29x

A critical research lette exposes severe flaws in "quantile aggregation", a statistical technique recently used by pharmaceutical researchers to evaluate the drug donanemab.

Genetic Maps Target Root Causes of Multiple Sclerosis

A new study provides the first direct empirical comparison of the two primary preclinical models for myelin loss and regeneration: cuprizone (CPZ) and lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC).

Cooperation Emerges Naturally Through Recognition

Is selfishness truly the ultimate winner in the evolutionary race? A new study upends 75 years of game theory by proving that cooperation emerges naturally when individuals can recognize their opponents.

Brain Rewires to Stabilize Walking During Visual Impairment

How does the human brain maintain walking stability when its primary navigational radar is abruptly turned off? Anew study maps the functional remodeling strategies the brain deploys during simulated visual impairment.

Leucovorin Autism Prescriptions Surge 2,000% via Media Hype

A new study reveals that off-label prescriptions of leucovorin for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) surged by over 2,000% following viral media coverage and promotional statements from White House officials.

Neurology News Articles

Neurology news articles cover neurology, brain cancer, traumatic brain injuries, neurosurgery, neuroanatomy, brain research and neurological disorders.

Connected Biochip Tracks How Diabetes Triggers Dementia

A new study launched the GlucoBrain project, a multi-disciplinary initiative to build a first-of-its-kind "organ-on-chip" device that bridges the gut, pancreas, and brain.

Brain Switch for Recent Memory Retrieval Identified

Neuroscientists identifies a specific "neural switch" that actively selects recent memories over past experiences.

Parkinson’s Drug Restores Memories in Alzheimer’s

Severe dopamine dysfunction in the entorhinal cortex is a primary, hidden mechanism behind Alzheimer's-related memory impairment. Researchers found that dopamine levels in this vital memory gateway drop to less than 20% of normal, causing localized neurons to stop encoding memories altogether.

Poor Sleep Linked to Alzheimer’s Risk

A new study researchers demonstrates that self-reported poor sleep is directly associated with worse visual memory and accelerated tau protein accumulation in older women, but only those with a high genetic risk.

Study Maps Brain Immune Cells to Block Melanoma Metastasis

Can the brain's own immune system be engineered to lock out invading cancer cells? A multidisciplinary research team is investigating new myeloid-focused strategies to prevent melanoma from metastasizing to the brain.

AI News Articles

AI news articles cover science articles about artificial intelligence including ChatGPT, Bard, Dalle, neural networks, machine learning, LLMs, AGI and other AI related topics.

Discovery Redefines the Architecture of Thought

New research challenges the long-held belief that the brain makes decisions in a simple, top-down hierarchy. By discovering decision-making signals in the primary somatosensory cortex, researchers have revealed a system of bidirectional feedback loops that could be the key to building the next generation of energy-efficient, truly intelligent AI.

Why Massive AI Models Actually Generalize Better

Physicists have developed a mathematical "toy model" using statistical physics to explain one of the great mysteries of deep learning: why massive neural networks learn patterns instead of just memorizing data. By applying renormalization theory, the team has shown how high-dimensional fluctuations stabilize learning, paving the way for more efficient and predictable artificial intelligence.

Organic Synaptic Transistors for Sustainable AI Developed

By developing organic transistors that mimic neural synapses, the team has identified how molecular interfaces can be engineered to create "neuromorphic" computers that learn and store data simultaneously, potentially reducing AI energy consumption to the level of a light bulb.

“Warm” AI Chatbots Are More Likely to Lie

We all want an AI that feels like a friend, but new research suggests that "kindness" in AI might be a major red flag for "truth."

AI Uncovers a Hidden “Grammar” in DNA Packaging

Researchers have discovered a new "organizational code" for the genome, showing that most DNA is partially accessible even when wrapped up.

Psychology News Articles

Science research articles cover psychology, depression, mental health, schizophrenia, mental disorders, happiness, stress, PTSD, autism, psychiatry and therapy.

Combining Cannabis and Tobacco Triples Psychosis Risk

Does combining cannabis and tobacco accelerate the onset of schizophrenia? A multi-site study reveals that the co-use of cannabis and tobacco triggers a nearly threefold increased risk of developing psychotic disorders in individuals already at clinical high risk.

Why Young Teens Are Vulnerable to Conversational AI

Are highly empathetic AI chatbots safe for developing minds? A national study reveals that 47.1% of American teens have experienced digital or emotional harm while using conversational AI.

Harsh Parenting Biologically Distorts Child Stress Regulation

A new study utilizes Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia (RSA) monitoring to provide rare biological evidence of parent-child "co-regulation." While less-harsh mothers naturally exit the regulatory driver's seat as their preschoolers age into independent self-regulation, aggressive parenting upends this evolutionary pipeline.

Wearable Polygraph Tracks Deep-Body Stress Signals

A new ultra-lightweight device provides a multi-dimensional, real-time view of biophysical stress without needing access to bodily fluids.

Single Psilocybin Dose Sparks Rapid Depression Remission

Can a single dose of psilocybin replace daily antidepressants? A new randomized clinical trial shows that a 25 mg dose of the psychedelic compound delivers rapid, clinically meaningful symptom reductions for common depression in just 48 hours.

Sleep Duration Linked to Accelerated Aging

Researchers have discovered a "U-shaped" link between sleep and the biological clocks of 17 different organ systems. Sleeping fewer than 6 hours or more than 8 hours accelerates the aging of your heart, lungs, and immune system. By analyzing data from half a million people, the study identifies a "longevity window" of 6.4 to 7.8 hours, highlighting sleep as a vital, modifiable lifestyle factor for systemic health.
