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.

Beautiful Images Feel Effortless to the Brain

New research suggests that what humans experience as visual beauty may actually be rooted in energy efficiency. Images that require fewer neurons and less metabolic work to process are consistently rated as more aesthetically pleasing.

Smelling Fatty Foods in Pregnancy May Raise Obesity Risk in Children

New research shows that exposure to the smell of fatty foods during pregnancy and early life can reprogram the developing brain and increase the risk of obesity and insulin resistance in adulthood. Even when mothers consumed a healthy low-fat diet, the presence of fatty food odors altered how offspring responded to high-fat foods later.

AI Watches Pianists and Reconstructs Their Muscle Signals

Researchers developed an AI system that can reconstruct fine hand muscle activity using only standard video footage. Traditionally, this type of measurement required intrusive electrodes attached to the skin, but the new method eliminates that need entirely.

Scientists Achieve Sustained HIV Control Without Lifelong Drugs

Scientists tested a multi-step immune-based therapy designed to retrain the body to control HIV without continuous antiviral treatment. After stopping standard HIV drugs, seven out of ten participants maintained low viral levels for extended periods, and one showed no viral rebound at all.

Insomnia Keeps the Brain Stuck in Daytime Mode

People with chronic insomnia show a delayed and weakened daily rhythm of mental activity, keeping the brain in a more alert, daytime-like state at night. Under tightly controlled conditions, individuals with insomnia failed to show the normal nighttime drop in goal-directed thinking seen in healthy sleepers.

The Way You Drive Might Signal Mild Cognitive Impairment

Researchers found that long-term driving behavior can reveal early signs of cognitive decline years before clinical diagnosis. Older adults who later developed impairment showed gradual reductions in trip frequency, night driving, and route variety compared to cognitively healthy peers.

Neural Ultrasound Boosts Learning in 60 Seconds

Researchers have successfully altered human reward learning using non-invasive transcranial ultrasound stimulation directed at a deep brain structure linked to motivation. After brief stimulation, participants learned faster from positive feedback and repeated rewarding choices more consistently.

CBD Can Reduce Aggression in Dogs

A massive multi-year analysis of tens of thousands of dogs reveals that CBD use is becoming increasingly common among aging companion animals. While dogs given CBD initially showed higher aggression, their aggression decreased below average levels with long-term use.

Watching Pain on Screen Can Make Your Body Flinch

Watching someone experience pain on screen activates your own brain’s touch-processing system in a highly organized, body-specific way. Visual regions of the brain contain hidden maps of the body that allow sight alone to trigger sensations normally produced by physical contact.
