          New Appetite Regulating Neurons Discovered

          Researchers have identified a previously unknown population of neurons in the hypothalamus that play a critical role in regulating appetite. These neurons express both leptin receptors and the BNC2 gene, making them highly responsive to hunger-suppressing signals and food-related sensory cues.

          Frequent Snoring in Teens Linked to Behavior Issues

          Adolescents who snore frequently are more likely to show behavioral issues such as inattention, rule-breaking, and aggression, but their cognitive abilities, including memory and language skills, remain unaffected, a new study reveals. Researchers analyzed data from nearly 12,000 children in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study, the largest U.S. brain development project. They found snoring rates naturally declined as children aged, even without treatment, but persistent snorers showed behavioral difficulties that might be mistaken for ADHD.

          Geckos Use Hidden Inner Ear “Sixth Sense” to Detect Vibrations

          Researchers have discovered that geckos use their saccule, a part of the inner ear associated with balance, to detect low-frequency vibrations. This sensory pathway complements their regular hearing and may be present in other reptiles.

          Brain Region Helps Tune Our Hearing to Focus on Important Sounds

          A new study uncovers how the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) aids the auditory cortex in adapting to different hearing contexts. Researchers found that the OFC sends signals to the auditory cortex to help switch between passive and active listening. This discovery enhances our understanding of how the brain filters and reacts to sounds, with implications for treating neurodevelopmental disorders. The findings highlight the OFC's crucial role in managing auditory attention.

          Sex Differences Found in Brain’s Reward Pathways

          A new study reveals sex differences in how the brain's reward pathways function, specifically in the hippocampus and nucleus accumbens. Males and females use different molecular mechanisms to strengthen these connections, influencing responses to treatments for disorders like depression and substance abuse. The findings highlight the need for more gender-specific research to develop effective therapies. Researchers hope this will lead to improved patient outcomes.

          “Supernatural” Experiences Comfort Grieving Pet Owners

          A new study explores the phenomenon of supernatural visits from deceased pets. Analyzing 544 accounts from dog owners on social media, researchers found that about half of these experiences were physical manifestations, such as hearing a dog's nails on the floor, while the others were symbolic signs like dreams or rainbows.

          Is Inflammation in Childhood A Mechanistic Link to Neurodevelopmental Disorders?

          Scientists unveiled a potentially transformative link between early childhood inflammation and the subsequent development of neurodevelopmental disorders, through a pioneering study that utilizes single-cell genomics. By examining brain tissues of children who experienced severe inflammation, they uncovered that such inflammation impedes the full maturation of specific neurons in the cerebellum, a crucial brain region for motor control and cognitive functionality.

          Step Up for Brain Health: Walking Boosts Brain Networks, Combats Alzheimer’s

          Walking can enhance connections within and between three critical brain networks, one of which is linked to Alzheimer's disease. The research, involving older adults with normal cognitive function and those with mild cognitive impairment, showcased an improvement in memory recollection abilities after a 12-week walking exercise regimen.

          Shaping Minds: How the Immune System Molds Rat Brains in Development

          Immune system cells in female rat brains consume and digest neurons, sculpting a specific brain region during development and potentially impacting behavior. This insight into the interplay between biological sex, the immune system, and brain development may pave the way for understanding why certain brain disorders are more prevalent in one sex and could inform future treatments or prevention strategies.

          Traumatic Brain Injury Interferes With Immune System Cells’ Recycling Process in Brain Cells

          Following TBI, the brain's immune cells' internal recycling functions slow significantly, allowing waste products to build up and interfere with injury recovery. Treatment with rapamycin helps lower neuroinflammation and promoted cellular recycling following TBI.
