          Abnormal Brain Changes Over Time With Bipolar Disorder

          Cortical thinning over time was associated with bipolar patients who experienced more manic episodes. The changes were most evident in the prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain associated with emotional control and executive function.

          How the Brain Deals With Uncertainty

          How do we make decisions during times when we are uncertain? A new study may have clues. Researchers identified a specific set of neurons that prevent the brain from using unreliable information when faced with decision-making.

          Protein Lactylation Is Induced in the Brain by Neural Activation and Social Stress

          In mice, protein lactylation occurs in neurons and is correlated with lactate levels. Protein lactylation is enhanced by neural excitation and social stress. Researchers found social stress specifically enhances lysine lactylation of histone H1 proteins.

          Manic Episodes in Bipolar Disorder Linked to Abnormal Brain Changes

          People with bipolar disorder who experience frequent manic episodes had faster cortical thinning, specifically in the prefrontal cortex than those who reported less frequent episodes of mania. Researchers also noted faster enlargement of the brain's ventricles and slower thinking of the parahippocampal and fusiform cortical regions in those who experienced more frequent mania.
