Curiosity May Hold Key to Healthy Brain Aging

New research suggests that while general curiosity tends to decline with age, specific curiosity, or "state curiosity", actually increases later in life, potentially protecting against cognitive decline. Older adults showed heightened interest in learning new information, especially topics related to personal interests, which may help keep the brain sharp.

Heart’s Rhythm May Help Forecast Cognitive Longevity

Healthy hearts show complex, adaptive rhythms that reflect resilience to internal and external changes. Researchers applied a novel method to analyze heart rate complexity using wearable pulse oximeters and found that greater complexity predicted slower cognitive decline in older adults.

Ultra Processed Foods May Accelerate Parkinson’s Brain Changes

A large new study shows that consuming high amounts of ultra processed foods may be linked to early indicators of Parkinson’s disease. Researchers tracked over 42,000 adults for up to 26 years, finding that those eating 11 or more daily servings of ultra processed foods were 2.5 times more likely to show multiple prodromal Parkinson’s symptoms.

Knowing Alzheimer’s Risk Lowers Anxiety, But Motivation Fades

A new study shows that learning about amyloid beta buildup — a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease — does not increase emotional distress, but motivation to maintain healthy habits declines over time. Healthy adults who learned they had no amyloid buildup reported reduced depression, anxiety, and memory concerns, yet also lost motivation to continue positive lifestyle changes.

Gut Microbiome Reveals Chronic Pain Risk, AI Study Finds

New research shows that AI can identify complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) with over 90% accuracy by analyzing gut microbiome patterns. Despite differences in geography and diet, a shared "microbiome signature" was detected across patients from Israel and Canada.

Want to Know Your Alzheimer’s Risk? Many Change Their Minds

New research reveals a striking gap between people’s theoretical desire to know their Alzheimer’s disease risk and their real-life decisions when results are actually offered. In a study of cognitively normal volunteers, only 60% chose to learn their estimated risk when given the chance, despite 81% expressing prior interest.

Emotional Regulation Offers a New Path to Relief

A new study shows that improving emotional processing can significantly reduce chronic pain and improve quality of life. Researchers developed Pain and Emotion Therapy, an online intervention teaching emotional regulation, which led to notable pain reduction in participants.

Bitten Hundreds of Times, Now His Blood Could Save Snakebite Victims

Scientists have developed the most broadly protective antivenom yet, using antibodies from a donor who built immunity through years of self-injection with lethal snake venoms. By combining two antibodies from the donor with a small molecule inhibitor, the antivenom protected mice from deadly snakes like black mambas and king cobras.

Your Biological Age Could Predict Dementia Risk

A large study found that people whose biological age exceeds their chronological age are about 30% more likely to develop dementia. Biological age, measured through biomarkers like lung function and cholesterol, reflects how the body's systems are aging.

Next-Gen Soft Exoskeleton Boosts Mobility for Kids With Cerebral Palsy

Researchers have developed the MyoStep, a next-generation soft exoskeleton designed to help children with cerebral palsy walk more easily and safely. Combining artificial muscles, smart fabrics, and wireless sensor networks, the MyoStep offers a lightweight and adaptable alternative to bulky traditional exoskeletons.

Psilocybin Shows Promise for Parkinson’s Mood and Motor Symptoms

A new pilot study reveals that psilocybin—the compound found in psychedelic mushrooms—may significantly improve mood, cognition, and motor function in people with Parkinson’s disease. The compound was well tolerated, with only mild side effects, and benefits persisted for weeks after dosing. While the study was primarily designed to test safety, researchers observed meaningful and lasting improvements in multiple symptoms.

Skin Test Detects Neurodegenerative Disease PSP with High Accuracy

Researchers have developed a skin-based test that can detect misfolded tau proteins specific to progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), offering a faster, more accurate diagnosis than current methods. This breakthrough could improve patient assignment to clinical trials and eventually guide targeted, precision treatments.
