Abuse Survivors Show Unique Injury Signatures Tied to Suicide Risk

A new study finds that victims of intimate partner violence who also experience suicidal thoughts or behaviors show distinct and severe injury patterns on medical imaging. These patients were far more likely to present at night in emergency settings and had dramatically higher rates of head, spinal, and deep internal injuries.

Obesity Speeds Alzheimer’s Biomarker by Up to 95 Percent

New longitudinal research shows that Alzheimer’s disease blood biomarkers rise up to 95 percent faster in people with obesity than in those without. While baseline tests initially appeared lower due to blood dilution, long-term tracking revealed a significantly accelerated buildup of neurodegeneration and amyloid pathology.

AI Uncovers Hidden Stress Damage in the Body

Researchers developed an AI tool that detects chronic stress by measuring adrenal gland volume on routine chest CT scans. This biomarker aligns with cortisol levels, stress questionnaires, and future cardiovascular outcomes, offering the first imaging-based method to quantify stress load in the body.

Rivalry Rewires the Brain: Why Fans Lose Control in an Instant

New brain-imaging research shows that soccer fans experience rapid shifts in reward and self-control circuits when their team wins or loses against a rival. Victories trigger heightened reward responses, while defeats suppress the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, the brain region responsible for regulating emotion and behavior.

Study Links Muscle Loss to Alzheimer’s Risk

New research shows that skeletal muscle loss, measured through temporalis muscle size on brain MRIs, is associated with a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. A study of 621 older adults found that those with smaller temporalis muscles were 60% more likely to develop dementia and experienced greater cognitive and brain volume decline over nearly six years.

Visceral Fat May Indicate Alzheimer’s Risk Decades Before Symptoms

A new study links visceral fat, a deep layer of abdominal fat, to increased brain amyloid and tau proteins—key markers of Alzheimer’s disease—decades before dementia symptoms arise. Researchers found that visceral fat accounted for 77% of the relationship between high BMI and amyloid accumulation, while other fat types showed no similar impact. The study highlights how managing visceral fat through lifestyle changes or medication could reduce Alzheimer's risk.

Concussion Impacts Brain Activity and Cognition in High Schoolers

Concussions affect aperiodic brain activity, a key signal often dismissed as "background noise," which plays a role in brain excitability and cognitive function. High school football players who experienced concussions showed slowed aperiodic activity, correlating with worse memory, concentration, and post-concussion test scores.

AI Reveals Brain Differences in ADHD

Researchers utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze brain MRI scans have identified significant differences in white matter tracts of adolescents with ADHD. The study, involving over 1,700 participants from the multi-institutional Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study, used diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and a deep-learning AI model to detect these variations.

New Treatment for COVID-Induced Smell Loss

A new study presents a promising treatment for restoring the sense of smell in long-COVID patients. The study explores the effectiveness of CT-guided stellate ganglion block, a minimally invasive procedure, in treating parosmia—a condition affecting up to 60% of COVID-19 patients where the sense of smell is distorted.
