          Scorching Stress: The Hidden Mental Toll of Summer Heatwaves

          Research suggests that extreme summer heat can significantly impact mental health, in addition to physical health. Changes in emotions and behaviors can occur due to heat's influence on serotonin, the neurotransmitter that regulates mood.

          Sniffing Out the Truth: Astrocytes Serotonin Processing Plays Essential Role in Olfactory Perception

          Researchers shed light on the role of astrocytes, a type of brain cell, in olfactory perception or smell detection. The research reveals that during olfactory stimulation, serotonin transporter Slc22a3 in astrocytes mediates serotonin transport into the cells, influencing gene expression.

          Experts Call for Creative Regulations and Collaboration for Psychedelics in Mental Health Treatment

          Experts in bioethics, law and policy from top universities in the US call for creative and collaborative policies to regulate the use and oversight of psychedelics for treating conditions like depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. In a paper published in the journal Science, the authors propose solutions to regulatory challenges in anticipation of FDA approval of psychedelics for medical use, while stressing the need for a strong evidence base for efficacy and safety.

          Study Shows Neuronal Activity is Crucial for Complex Astrocyte Shape

          Neuronal activity is necessary and sufficient for astrocytes to develop their bushy shape, which is fundamental for brain function. These findings suggest that astrocyte development and function involve a complex pattern of events and proteins triggered by the activity of neurons, offering new insights into the mechanisms of brain development and the potential causes of neurodevelopmental disorders.

          Social Isolation Triggers Astrocyte-Mediated Deficits in Learning and Memory

          During periods of social isolation, astrocytes in the brain become hyperactive. This suppresses circuit formation and memory formation. Reversing astrocyte hyperactivity can help mitigate memory deficits associated with social isolation.
