AI Images That Change When Rotated Reveal How the Mind Sees

Researchers have developed AI-generated “visual anagrams” — images that transform into entirely new objects when rotated — to explore how the brain processes perception. Unlike traditional optical illusions, these rotating images allow scientists to isolate how people interpret size, emotion, and animacy in visual information.

AI Learns to Design the Human Body’s Most Elusive Proteins

A new machine learning method has achieved what even AlphaFold cannot — the design of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), the shape-shifting biomolecules that make up nearly 30% of all human proteins. These unstable proteins play key roles in cellular communication, sensing, and disease, yet their ever-changing structures have defied traditional AI prediction models.

Head Injuries in Adults Linked to Dementia

A large-scale Canadian study has found that older adults who sustain traumatic brain injuries (TBI) face a significantly higher risk of developing dementia, needing home care, or being admitted to long-term care. Researchers found that TBIs, most commonly caused by falls, increase dementia risk by up to 69% in the first five years following injury.

Why It’s Time to Retire the Body Mass Index

A growing number of researchers are calling for the end of BMI as a measure of health, arguing it’s outdated, misleading, and rooted in discrimination. The metric, a simple weight-to-height ratio, fails to account for fat distribution, muscle mass, age, or ethnicity—yet it still influences medical decisions and public perception.

Do You Get Déjà Vu? Memory Glitches Make Time Feel Repeated

Déjà vu—the eerie feeling that a new moment has happened before—has puzzled scientists and philosophers for centuries. Neuroscientists now believe it’s a normal brain glitch tied to how memory and perception interact.

Misophonia Might Be a Brain Regulation Disorder

A new study shows that misophonia, strong negative reactions to certain sounds, is closely linked to cognitive and emotional inflexibility. Participants with high misophonia severity struggled to shift between emotional tasks and reported rigid thinking in daily life.

How Growing Up Changes the Way We Hear, and Feel, Music

Our music preferences evolve across life — from youthful exploration to nostalgic reflection. A large-scale analysis of 40,000 users’ streaming data over 15 years revealed that young listeners engage broadly with new and popular music, while adults settle into more personal and emotionally rooted tastes.

Born to Connect: Newborn Brain Already Wired for Social Awareness

A new study reveals that the brain’s social perception pathway—a network that processes faces, gaze, and speech—is already active at birth or shortly thereafter. Using advanced imaging data, researchers showed that newborns exhibit robust connectivity in regions responsible for visual and social processing.

Sugar Chains in the Brain: New Pathway Behind Depression Found

Scientists have discovered that depression can be driven by abnormal sugar modifications on proteins in the brain, offering a new molecular pathway for understanding the disorder. Chronic stress was shown to reduce sialylation—a stabilizing sugar process—in the prefrontal cortex, impairing neural circuit stability and triggering depressive symptoms.

Glioblastoma Found to Erode Skull and Hijack Immune System

Glioblastoma, the most lethal brain cancer, doesn’t just damage the brain—it erodes the skull and disrupts the immune system by reshaping marrow inside the skull. Researchers discovered that tumors increase skull-to-brain channels, allowing waves of inflammatory immune cells to flow to the cancer site, fueling its growth.

Motherhood Flips Brain Switch That Triggers Aggression

Researchers discovered that female mice gain access to aggression after giving birth through a brain circuit usually dormant in non-pregnant females.

When Mom Struggles to Bond, Babies Sleep Worse

A large Finnish study has found that mothers who struggle to bond with their infants are more likely to have children with sleep problems that persist into toddlerhood. Difficulties in bonding at eight months were linked to sleep disruptions, including frequent awakenings and trouble falling asleep, even at age two.
