          Deciphering the Century-Old Mystery: Revealing the Temporal Pole’s Function in the Brain

          Researchers uncovered the critical role of the temporal pole, a previously mysterious area of the brain. A disease called TDP-C that specifically damages the temporal pole allowed the team to discern its function in word comprehension, face recognition, and behavior regulation.

          Stem Cell Breakthrough: A Potential Cure for Baldness

          In a new study, researchers discovered that age-related stiffness in hair follicle stem cells can inhibit hair growth. By enhancing the production of a tiny RNA, miR-205, they managed to soften these cells, encouraging hair growth in both young and old mice.

          Study Using AI Reveals Secondary Bacterial Pneumonia, Not Cytokine Storm, Found as Key Factor in COVID-19 Fatalities

          AI study found secondary bacterial pneumonia, rather than the "cytokine storm," is a significant factor in COVID-19-related fatalities.

          Reproductive Aging May Be Slowed by SSRI Antidepressants

          Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) commonly used to treat depression and anxiety can improve the quality of aging females' egg cells in roundworms and fruit flies. The study found that the exposure to SSRIs decreased embryonic death and chromosomal abnormalities in surviving offspring. The researchers said that these findings could lead to new opportunities to explore pharmacological interventions that could combat infertility issues in humans by improving egg quality and delaying the onset of reproductive aging.

          Fight-Or-Flight Neurotransmitter Octopamine’s Role in Neurodegeneration

          Octopamine, the major neurotransmitter responsible for the "fight-or-flight" response in invertebrates, can communicate with mammalian brain cells to prevent cell death. By introducing octopamine to cultures of astrocytes, the scientists found that it prompts the production of lactate, which promotes cell survival, and this discovery could lead to future therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. The study also raises questions about the role of octopamine in healthy brains and its impact on learning, memory, and aging.

          New Discovery Reveals Sex-Specific Causes of Depression Triggered by Stress Hormones Dysfunction

          Men are more likely to have a dysregulated HPA axis that is associated with depressive symptoms, while women have higher levels of binding proteins for stress hormones that may prevent dysregulation of the HPA axis. The findings shed new light on how stress hormones impact dopamine transmission and how this impacts depression on a sex-specific basis.

          Social Deficits and Seizures in Autism Type Tied to Overexcited Brain Circuits

          A genetic subtype of ASD and schizophrenia have a duplicate gene that triggers overactivity in neural circuits, leading to social deficits and seizures. When researchers reduced the level of the PRRT2 gene in mouse models of 16p11.2 duplication syndrome, social behaviors were restored and seizure activity decreased.

          Restricted Abortion Access Will Cause Psychiatric Harm

          Women seeking abortions are three times more likely to suffer from a mental health disorder, and restrictive abortion rights will only cause more women to experience mental health problems, researchers say. Additionally, the physical and emotional stress caused as a result of forced pregnancy will have a detrimental impact on the brain development of the fetus, raising the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders.
