Strong Marriages May Rewire Brain–Gut Signals

Strong emotional support within marriage may help protect against obesity by altering how the brain and gut communicate. People in highly supportive marriages showed better control of food cravings, healthier gut metabolism, and higher levels of oxytocin, a hormone linked to bonding and appetite regulation.

Early-Life Stimulation Switches On a Molecular Code for Memory

New research shows that childhood environments shape lifelong memory through a single molecular switch that controls learning-related gene activity. In animal models, enriched early experiences activated this switch, strengthening neural circuits involved in memory and cognition, while deprived environments suppressed it.

Hidden Brain Layers Revealed in Key Memory Center

Scientists have identified a previously unseen layered organization inside one of the brain’s most important memory hubs. The CA1 region of the hippocampus was found to contain four distinct bands of neuron types, each defined by unique genetic signatures that shift subtly across the structure.

AI Is Changing the Way Humans Grieve, Remember, and Face Death

Generative artificial intelligence is quietly reshaping how humans process grief, remembrance, and mortality. Digital reconstructions of the deceased may offer comfort, but they also risk blurring the natural boundary between presence and absence.

Cognitive Profiles in Schizophrenia Are Being Ignored

A major scientific review reveals a deep knowledge gap in how cognition is affected when schizophrenia and personality disorders occur together. Despite the high prevalence and severe outcomes tied to this dual diagnosis, only a small number of rigorous studies have ever examined cognitive functioning in this group.

Creativity Key to Slowing Brain Aging

Regular creative activity is linked to a younger-looking brain and slower brain aging, according to a large international brain-imaging analysis. People who regularly danced, made music, created visual art, or played strategy-based video games showed brain patterns associated with delayed aging.

Tiny Cells Shape Memory, Mood, and Behavior

Scientists have uncovered a biological “blueprint” that shows how the brain’s smallest building blocks create the large networks that drive thought, emotion, and behavior. By combining brain imaging with genetic and molecular data, the team demonstrated that cellular and chemical patterns directly shape functional brain networks.

Supplement Mix Reverses Autism Traits

Researchers have made a major advance, discovering that a low-dose mixture of zinc, serine, and branch-chain amino acids (BCAAs) can successfully alleviate behavioral symptoms in three different mouse models of autism. This breakthrough lies in the synergy of the three common nutrients, which work together to restore normal neural communication and reduce hyperactivity in the brain's emotional center.

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.

Shingles Vaccine Linked to 20% Lower Dementia Risk

A large population analysis found that older adults who received the shingles vaccine were significantly less likely to develop dementia over the following seven years. The study exploited a rare age-based rollout policy that closely mimicked a randomized trial, allowing researchers to isolate the vaccine’s true effect.
