          Psilocybin Shows Promise as Anti-Aging Therapy

          Psilocybin, the active compound derived from psychedelic mushrooms, significantly delayed cellular aging and extended lifespan in a preclinical study. Researchers observed a 50% increase in the lifespan of human skin and lung cells and a 30% increase in survival in aged mice treated with psilocybin.

          Inflammation Tied to Motivation Loss in Schizophrenia

          A new study has uncovered a biological link between inflammation and motivational deficits in people with schizophrenia, identifying a promising treatment target for symptoms that current medications fail to address. Higher levels of the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein were associated with reduced activity in brain regions involved in reward and motivation, such as the ventral striatum and ventromedial prefrontal cortex.

          Psychedelic Therapy Could Benefit 5.6 Million People with Depression

          Psilocybin-assisted therapy could potentially benefit up to 5.6 million Americans with major depressive disorder or treatment-resistant depression, offering a powerful alternative to traditional treatments. Researchers applied medical criteria to a national pool of patients and found that over half might be eligible for psilocybin therapy, pending FDA approval. If approved, this therapy could significantly impact public health policies, insurance frameworks, and economic costs by reducing reliance on long-term antidepressant prescriptions.

          Anti-inflammatory Drug Boosts Motivation in Depression

          A new study reveals that infliximab, an anti-inflammatory drug, can improve motivation in patients with depression and high inflammation. Researchers found that patients receiving infliximab showed greater effort in reward-based tasks, correlating with changes in brain activity in key motivation regions.

          Neural Circuitry Behind Social Group Preferences Discovered

          Scientists have identified the brain circuitry that drives spiny mice to prefer larger social groups. The study shows that neural signaling from the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) to the lateral septum (LS) promotes social group-size preference. When this circuit was turned off, male mice preferred smaller groups, while female mice showed no preference. This research opens up new models for studying complex social behaviors and may provide insights into human social interactions.

          Unlocking Schizophrenia: Mitochondria Dysfunction at the Forefront

          Researchers have identified a pivotal role of impaired mitochondrial function in the development of schizophrenia by examining the genetic risk factor 3q29 deletion syndrome. The genetic condition, known to amplify schizophrenia risk by 40 times, displayed alterations in mitochondrial activity in both mice models and human brain organoids.

          Extracts From Two Wild Plants Inhibit COVID-19 Virus

          Extracts from two common wildflowers, tall goldenrod and eagle fern blocked SARS_CoV_2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, from entering human cells. Researchers warn the public they should not consume the plants as a means of self-treatment against coronavirus as they can be toxic. However, the findings could provide a new avenue to develop pharmaceutical treatments for COVID-19.
