          Upside Down World: Unique View Offers Clues to Face Recognition

          Claudio's unique head orientation—rotated nearly 180 degrees—allowed researchers to explore the evolutionary and experiential factors in face recognition. While most people struggle to recognize inverted faces, Claudio's distinct vantage point put this ability to the test.

          Is the Blood-Brain Barrier a Key to Behavior?

          The blood-brain barrier (BBB) in carpenter ants isn't just a protective boundary, but actively shapes ant behavior. The BBB produces an enzyme called Juvenile hormone esterase (Jhe) that degrades the Juvenile Hormone (JH3), which promotes foraging behavior.

          Social Media Algorithms Distort Social Instincts and Fuel Misinformation

          Social media algorithms, designed to boost user engagement for advertising revenue, amplify the biases inherent in human social learning processes, leading to misinformation and polarization. As humans naturally learn more from their ingroup and prestigious individuals, algorithms capitalize on this, pushing information that feeds these biases—regardless of its accuracy.

          Tickling Out the Secrets of Rat Playfulness

          In a pioneering study, scientists have successfully simulated playful environments in labs, encouraging playfulness in rats and analyzing the resulting brain activity. Their findings, highlight the crucial role of a structure called the periaqueductal gray (PAG) in rats' brains in play and laughter.

          Schizophrenia Linked to Non-Inherited Genetic Mutations

          Researchers found a link between schizophrenia and somatic copy-number variants, mutations occurring post-inheritance. The study scrutinized genotype-marker data from over 20,000 blood samples, identifying two genes, NRXN1 and ABCB11, that correlate with schizophrenia when disrupted during development.

          Alzheimer’s Drug Lecanemab Shields Brain from Free-Roaming Amyloid Fibrils

          Researchers have unveiled the structure of a unique amyloid beta protein associated with Alzheimer's progression. This protein forms small aggregates that disrupt brain function. Importantly, the study found that lecanemab, a recently FDA-approved Alzheimer's treatment, can neutralize these disruptive aggregates, hinting at its potential to slow down the disease's cognitive decline.

          Stress Rapidly Increases Biological Age, but Recovery Turns Back the Clock

          Stress can cause rapid and transient increases in biological age, which can be reversed upon recovery, according to a new study. Using DNA methylation clocks, researchers found that stress triggers short-term fluctuations in biological age in humans and mice. The findings challenge the idea that biological age has a unidirectional upward trajectory over the life course, and highlights the importance of reducing biological age to improve longevity.
