          Shared Brain Circuit Links Insomnia, Anxiety, and Depression

          A large brain imaging study suggests that insomnia, depression, and anxiety—often co-occurring—share overlapping brain abnormalities. Researchers found reduced cortical surface area, smaller thalamic volume, and weaker brain connectivity across all three disorders, while each also displayed unique neural patterns.

          Cannabis Impacts Brain Plasticity via Astrocyte Receptors

          Researchers discovered that cannabis affects brain development by interacting with CB1 receptors on astrocytes, not just neurons. Using a mouse model, they showed that removing these receptors impaired the brain’s ability to adapt during critical periods of plasticity, particularly in the visual cortex.

          Hippocampal Cells Track Pronouns to Link Them With People

          A new study reveals that certain brain cells, known as “concept cells,” in the hippocampus track pronouns to link them with the correct person in a sentence. Researchers found that these cells respond not only to a person’s name or image but also to pronouns like “he” or “she” that refer to them.

          How Flickering Light Induces Hallucinations

          A new study reveals how flickering lights can trigger hallucinations by causing standing waves in the brain's visual cortex. Researchers observed that high-frequency flickering lights create ripple-like waves of neural activity, which turn into standing waves at higher frequencies.

          Making Us Blush: Study Explores Blushing Mechanisms

          Researchers investigated the neural basis of blushing using MRI scans and cheek temperature measurements. The study found that blushing activates the cerebellum and early visual areas, but not regions linked to understanding mental states. This suggests blushing may be an automatic emotional response rather than a cognitive one. The findings could help address social anxiety related to blushing.

          Mirror-Pain Synaesthetes: Feeling Others’ Pain Boosts Generosity

          Individuals who physically feel others' pain, known as mirror-pain synaesthetes, are more likely to help. Using fMRI, they observed that these individuals activate their secondary somatosensory cortex more, linking empathy to prosocial behavior. This study highlights the importance of empathy in motivating generosity and offers insights into enhancing prosocial behavior. Findings could inform future interventions to boost empathy.

          Parasomnia: What Happens in the Brain During Sleepwalking?

          Researchers made significant advances in understanding parasomnias—complex sleep behaviors where individuals are semi-conscious, often interacting with their environment. The team explored brain activity during these episodes, revealing that dreams and unconscious actions can occur during non-REM sleep, challenging previous assumptions about sleep stages and dream occurrence.

          Touch interventions significantly benefit both physical and mental health, with particular advantages for individuals facing health challenges. The study, aggregating hundreds of individual studies, demonstrates that the nature of the touch, the person providing it, or the duration matters less than the frequency, suggesting even brief interactions like hugs can be profoundly impactful.
