          Placebo Triggers Brain’s Opioid System to Relieve Pain

          Researchers have successfully induced the placebo effect in rats, uncovering the neural mechanisms behind how belief in pain relief can reduce the perception of pain. Using conditioning, rats learned to associate injections with pain relief, and later exhibited reduced pain responses even when injected with saline.

          Acetate and Bacteria Team Up to Burn Fat

          A new study reveals that acetate—when paired with specific gut bacteria—can significantly reduce fat and liver mass in both normal and obese mice. Researchers used a supplement called AceCel, which delivers acetate directly to the large intestine, promoting the growth of Bacteroides bacteria.

          The Brain Learns to Fear Through Inference, Not Just Experience

          A new study reveals how rats can learn to fear through inference, offering insights into the neural basis of higher-order emotions. By pairing a neutral sound and image, then associating the image with an unpleasant experience, researchers showed that rats later feared the sound alone—demonstrating inferred emotional learning.

          One Gene Mutation Disrupts Both Immunity and Brain Development

          Researchers have uncovered a surprising mechanism by which a single genetic mutation in the BCL11B gene causes both immune dysfunction and brain development issues. Instead of merely disabling the protein’s normal function, the mutated BCL11B protein interferes with other healthy proteins, such as BCL11A, causing broader damage.

          Sleep Strengthens Emotionally Charged Memories During Non-REM Phase

          Researchers have discovered that positive emotions enhance perceptual memories during sleep, particularly in the non-REM stage. Using mice, they found that memories linked to rewarding experiences lasted longer than neutral ones.

          How Large Social Circles Foster Trust

          A new study challenges the belief that larger groups reduce cooperation, showing instead that flexible social connections enhance teamwork. Researchers found that in a prisoner’s dilemma game, participants in bigger groups cooperated more frequently, despite memory limitations.

          Unique Brain Plaques Linked to Alzheimer’s Mutation Decoded

          Researchers have identified the structure of amyloid beta fibrils linked to a rare inherited form of Alzheimer’s disease caused by the Arctic mutation. Using cryo-electron microscopy and NMR, they revealed a W-shaped fibril structure that explains the formation of cottonwool plaques—large, spherical brain structures unique to this mutation.

          Researchers uncovered a promising approach to treating Alzheimer’s disease by using dopamine to enhance brain enzyme activity that reduces harmful plaques. Conducted on mice, the study shows that dopamine increases neprilysin production, which breaks down beta-amyloid plaques linked to Alzheimer's.

          Researchers made a significant breakthrough in understanding the genetics of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by focusing on special genetic mutations and their impact on neighboring genes. The study shows that mutations within promoters in certain genome regions can indirectly affect ASD-related genes due to the three-dimensional structure of the genome.
