Shared Neural Noise Does Not Cap Brain Information

Researchers overturn a 30-year neuroscience belief, showing shared neural noise does not cap the brain's sensory information capacity.

This shows two heads and brains. One brain in like a circuit network.

AI Is Changing the Way Humans Grieve, Remember, and Face Death

Generative artificial intelligence is quietly reshaping how humans process grief, remembrance, and mortality. Digital reconstructions of the deceased may offer comfort, but they also risk blurring the natural boundary between presence and absence.

This shows two people, a dog, and a question mark.

Brain Changes From Early-Life Stress May Be Reversible

A new study reveals how prenatal infections followed by early-life stress—known as "two-hit stress"—can lead to brain dysfunction and psychiatric-like behaviors. Researchers found that affected mice showed abnormal cerebellar activity, increased microglial turnover, and impaired brain-wide connectivity.

Beta Oscillations Key to Understanding Depression in the Brain

A new study in rhesus macaques reveals how the brain regulates depression-like states. Researchers found that a specific brain circuit connecting the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) and the cingulo-striatal network plays a crucial role in emotional regulation.
