          Hepatitis C Found in Brain Lining Linked to Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder

          Researchers have discovered hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the brain lining of individuals with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, suggesting a possible link between infection and psychiatric symptoms. The study found HCV specifically in the choroid plexus, a structure producing cerebrospinal fluid, but not inside brain tissue itself.

          Low Blood Sugar Triggers Retinal Damage, Vision Loss

          New research reveals that hypoglycemia may worsen diabetic retinopathy by breaking down the blood-retinal barrier. In diabetic mice, low blood sugar increased levels of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), a protein linked to abnormal blood vessel growth and leakage.

          AI Still Falls Short in Understanding Human Social Interactions

          Humans significantly outperform AI models in interpreting dynamic social interactions, a skill critical for technologies like autonomous vehicles and assistive robots. In a new study, participants reliably judged short videos of social scenes, while over 350 AI models struggled to match human accuracy or predict brain responses.

          Heavy Alcohol Use Causes Long-Term Brain Damage

          For the first time, scientists have shown how heavy alcohol use leads to long-term cognitive impairments by damaging brain circuits responsible for decision-making. In a rat model, animals exposed to high alcohol levels performed significantly worse on a complex, shifting-reward task, even after nearly three months of sobriety.

          Glutamate Unlocks Brain Cell Channels to Enable Thinking and Learning

          Researchers used advanced cryo-electron microscopy to capture atomic-level images of how glutamate, a key neurotransmitter, opens channels in brain cells. These channels, known as AMPA receptors, are essential for neuron-to-neuron communication and play a role in learning, memory, and disorders like epilepsy.

          Brain Activity Reveals How We Learn From Mistakes

          New research uncovers how the brain processes learning by identifying the exact moment an animal learns a new skill. By observing individual neurons in mice, scientists found that learning occurs much faster than previously thought, in as few as 20 to 40 tries.

          How Human Retinas Create a Colorful World

          In a groundbreaking study using lab-grown human retinas, researchers unveil the process behind our ability to see millions of colors, a trait unique to humans. The findings challenge previous beliefs and demonstrate how retinoic acid plays a crucial role in determining whether specialized cone cells sense red or green light.
