          Brain Waves Hand Off Visual Signals Across Hemispheres

          A new study reveals how the brain unifies vision across its two hemispheres when objects cross the field of view. Researchers tracked neural spikes and brain wave frequencies, showing that different wave patterns anticipate, execute, and confirm the handoff of information from one hemisphere to the other. Gamma and beta waves managed sensory encoding, while alpha waves ramped up before the transfer and theta waves peaked after, signaling completion.

          Alzheimer’s Linked to Epigenomic Breakdown, Not Just Plaques

          A new large-scale study shows that Alzheimer’s disease is marked by the erosion of epigenomic control, where brain cells lose the ability to maintain stable gene expression. Using a multi-region atlas of 3.5 million cells, researchers found that vulnerable cells in key memory regions such as the hippocampus suffer breakdowns in nuclear compartmentalization and lose their “epigenomic information.”

          How Astrocytes Keep Neural Teams in Sync

          Astrocytes, long overshadowed by neurons, are proving vital to how the brain processes information. A new study shows that astrocytes use a protein called Gat3 to manage ambient GABA levels, helping neurons work together to encode visual input.

          Brain Wave Phase Locking May Be Key to Unconsciousness

          Despite acting through different molecular mechanisms, ketamine and dexmedetomidine both disrupt brain wave phase alignment in ways that reliably induce unconsciousness. A new study reveals that these anesthetics trigger a common signature: increased phase locking at low frequencies, particularly between brain hemispheres, while disrupting local cortical communication.

          How Your Brain Splits Space to Double Its Perception Power

          Despite popular myths about left- and right-brain thinking, research shows the hemispheres truly do divide up certain tasks—especially visual spatial perception. A new review reveals how each hemisphere processes the opposite side of your field of vision, not only early on but even in higher-level cognition like attention and memory.

          Dopamine Signals Teach the Brain to Unlearn Fear

          A new study reveals that dopamine release along a specific brain circuit helps extinguish fear by activating reward-related neurons in the amygdala. Researchers showed that dopamine from the ventral tegmental area (VTA) drives the brain’s positive learning process during fear extinction, rather than simply suppressing fear.

          Sensory Stimulation Boosts Memory and Brain Growth in Down Syndrome

          New research shows that 40Hz sensory stimulation (GENUS) improves memory, enhances brain circuit connectivity, and increases new neuron growth in mice modeling Down syndrome. In the study, daily light and sound exposure boosted performance in memory tasks and promoted gene activity linked to synaptic development.

          Reading Brainwaves to Fine-Tune Consciousness in Surgeries

          A new clinical trial shows that using EEG to guide anesthesia in children significantly reduces the amount of anesthetic needed while improving post-surgery recovery. By monitoring brain wave patterns, anesthesiologists maintained safe unconsciousness with lower doses of sevoflurane, leading to faster awakening and fewer cases of post-anesthesia delirium.

          New research reveals how the simple nervous system of C. elegans worms can dramatically reconfigure itself to survive infection. When exposed to harmful bacteria, the worms adapted by rewiring the roles of key neurons and neuromodulators to reduce feeding and resist quiescence.

          A new study reveals that both humans and marmosets continue to adjust their behavior even after learning an optimal task strategy. Instead of sticking to a known successful approach, they subtly modify their responses based on their most recent experience.
