          Death Isn’t the End: AI Brings Lost Voices Back to Life

          A new paper explores how generative AI is transforming the way we interact with the dead, from virtual reality reunions to lifelike digital avatars. These “generative ghosts” can remember, plan, and even evolve—offering real-time conversations that go far beyond pre-recorded memorials.

          Brain Injury Could Explain Sudden Criminal Behavior

          A new study has found that damage to a specific white matter pathway in the brain—the right uncinate fasciculus—may increase the likelihood of criminal or violent behavior following brain injury. Researchers analyzed scans from individuals who began committing crimes after suffering strokes, tumors, or traumatic injuries and found consistent damage to this region.

          Early Baby Behavior Predicts Adult Cognition and Intelligence

          A new study reveals that cognitive tests in infancy can modestly predict intelligence three decades later. Researchers followed over 1,000 twins from seven months of age, measuring behaviors like vocalization and novelty preference to assess early cognition.

          Psilocybin use in the U.S. has risen sharply across all age groups since 2019, coinciding with increasing legalization and interest in its therapeutic potential. A new study reveals a 44% rise in past-year use among young adults and a 188% increase among those over 30.

          Cannabis Use Reduces Brain Activity in Key Memory Regions

          A study of over 1,000 young adults reveals that both recent and heavy lifetime cannabis use reduce brain activity in regions critical for working memory, including the prefrontal cortex and anterior insula. This reduced activity correlates with poorer performance on memory tasks like following instructions or solving problems.

          Females Sleep Less and Wake More: A New Study Reveals Why

          Females experience less total sleep, more frequent awakenings, and reduced restorative sleep compared to males, according to a new study on mice. Researchers attribute these differences to biological factors rather than lifestyle, potentially linked to stress hormones and evolutionary roles.

          Glial Cells May Influence Depression and Schizophrenia

          New research highlights neuroglia (or glia cells) as critical players in mental health, potentially influencing conditions like depression and schizophrenia. Glia cells, long considered "support cells" in the brain, have now been shown to communicate through unique calcium signaling, impacting neuronal function and stress responses. Studies suggest that compromised astrocyte function, a glial cell type, may relate to depressive symptoms and schizophrenia.

          Why We Only Inherit Mitochondria from Moms

          A recent study reveals why most animals, including humans, inherit mitochondrial DNA solely from their mothers, showing that retaining paternal mitochondria can harm development and health. In roundworms, when paternal mitochondria persist, it disrupts ATP production, affecting neurological, behavioral, and reproductive health.

          Long COVID Linked to Brain Inflammation and Low Cortisol

          A study finds that COVID-19 proteins left in the brain may lower cortisol levels, leading to heightened inflammation and an exaggerated response to stressors. This discovery could explain the persistent neurological symptoms seen in Long COVID patients. Researchers suggest that managing stressors and investigating viral reservoirs might help alleviate these symptoms.

          Junk Food Fuels Anxiety

          A high-fat diet can disrupt gut bacteria, alter behavior, and influence brain chemicals in ways that increase anxiety. The study found that rats fed a high-fat diet showed less diversity in gut bacteria and higher expression of genes associated with stress and anxiety. This suggests that unhealthy eating habits may not only lead to weight gain but also negatively impact mental health.

          How Antidepressants Treat Major Depression

          Researchers have developed a new framework explaining how antidepressants, like SSRIs, treat major depressive disorder (MDD) by restoring brain connectivity rather than correcting a serotonin imbalance. Their findings emphasize the continued importance of these medications despite shifting public opinion. This new understanding could improve patient-clinician conversations about depression treatment.
