Brain Stimulation Boosts Willpower to Quit Smoking

Addiction is a biological imbalance where reward systems overpower self-control. Researchers have demonstrated that using rTMS to stimulate the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex can restore this balance, reducing cigarette use by 11 per day. This "top-down" approach strengthens the brain's ability to resist cravings, offering a promising precision-medicine tool for those struggling to quit smoking.

Why Massive AI Models Actually Generalize Better

Physicists have developed a mathematical "toy model" using statistical physics to explain one of the great mysteries of deep learning: why massive neural networks learn patterns instead of just memorizing data. By applying renormalization theory, the team has shown how high-dimensional fluctuations stabilize learning, paving the way for more efficient and predictable artificial intelligence.
