          Semaglutide Shows Promise in Reducing Alcohol Cravings and Consumption

          A new study suggests that semaglutide, a drug commonly used for diabetes and obesity, may also help reduce alcohol consumption. Researchers found that weekly injections of semaglutide decreased alcohol cravings, drinking quantity, and heavy drinking days in adults with alcohol use disorder. Participants receiving semaglutide consumed less alcohol in a controlled lab setting and reported reduced cravings compared to those receiving a placebo.

          Infant Sleep Loss Linked to Brain Development Problems

          New research shows that sleep deprivation during early development disrupts brain function, impacting neuron growth and synapse formation. The study found that young mice lacking sleep did not experience the “sleep rebound” seen in adults, leading to lasting deficits in social behavior and memory.

          Uncovering Genetic Links to Psychiatric Disorders in the Brain

          Scientists have identified how genetic variants influence the risk of neurological and psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia and autism. Using live neural cells and DNA sequencing, researchers discovered thousands of "non-coding" genetic variants with context-dependent functions, activated during brain development.

          How the Brain Perceives Bitter Taste

          A new study sheds light on how we perceive bitter tastes, revealing the detailed structure of the TAS2R14 bitter taste receptor for the first time. By pinpointing where bitter substances bind to TAS2R14 and understanding its activation mechanism, scientists have laid the groundwork for developing treatments that could regulate taste receptors to address conditions like obesity and diabetes.

          Parsing Dopamine’s Different Pain Sensitivity Role in Males and Females

          Focusing attention on a neural pathway starting at the periaqueductal grey region of the midbrain, researchers made a novel discovery about how dopamine generates different pain responses in male and female mice. Findings indicate dopamine may reduce pain sensitivity in males, whereas, in females, dopamine helps focus attention elsewhere in the presence of pain.
