          Digital Tech May Reduce Dementia Risk

          Contrary to fears of "digital dementia," new research finds that using digital technology is linked to a reduced risk of cognitive decline in older adults. A large-scale meta-analysis of over 400,000 participants revealed that digital engagement correlates with a 58% lower risk of cognitive impairment.

          How Lactating Brains Rewire Metabolism for Milk Production

          Lactation triggers significant metabolic changes in mothers, driven by shifting hormone levels and brain activity. Researchers have now uncovered how increased prolactin and reduced estrogen suppress specific neurons in the hypothalamus to boost appetite and conserve fat, meeting the energy demands of nursing.

          Genetic Variant in ITSN1 Linked to Higher Parkinson’s and ASD Risk

          A new study has identified genetic variants in the ITSN1 gene that significantly increase the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. Researchers analyzed nearly 500,000 genetic profiles and found that individuals carrying ITSN1 variants face up to a tenfold higher risk of Parkinson’s.

          Protein Loss Triggers Molecular Changes Linked to Rett Syndrom

          Researchers have uncovered how loss of the MeCP2 protein triggers early molecular changes leading to Rett syndrome, a severe neurological disorder. By studying adult mice, they demonstrated that MeCP2 loss disrupts gene expression well before measurable neurological deficits arise.

          Targeting Enzyme TYK2 Could Reduce Tau in Alzheimer’s Disease

          Scientists have discovered that the enzyme TYK2 modifies tau proteins, leading to their accumulation in the brain—a key feature of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. By reducing TYK2 activity in animal models, researchers found tau buildup was decreased, suggesting TYK2 inhibitors could be a potential therapeutic pathway.

          Astrocytes’ Role in Memory Storage and Recall Uncovered

          Astrocytes, non-neuronal brain cells, have been shown to work alongside neurons to store and recall memories, reshaping our understanding of memory mechanisms. Researchers found that specific astrocytes express the c-Fos gene during memory formation, influencing neuron communication to store memories.

          Estrogen’s Quick Impact on Neurons via Clic1

          Researchers have discovered that estrogen's fast action on neurons is mediated by the estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-alpha) coupling with the chloride ion channel Clic1. This interaction allows estrogen to regulate nerve impulses within milliseconds, influencing processes like mood, cognition, and body weight.
