Motion is Your Signature: How Dynamic Cues Reveal Identity

New research highlights the critical role of dynamic motion in recognizing familiar people, beyond static facial or body features. Faces, voices, and body movements each carry unique, idiosyncratic motion patterns — or “dynamic fingerprints” — that help perceivers identify individuals, even under challenging conditions.

Weekly Injection Could Revolutionize Parkinson’s Treatment

Researchers have developed a long-acting weekly injection that delivers steady doses of levodopa and carbidopa, potentially transforming care for Parkinson’s disease. The biodegradable injectable maintains consistent drug levels, reducing the need for multiple daily pills and improving patient adherence.

Familiar Faces and Fights: What Monkeys Like to Watch Most

A new study reveals that long-tailed macaques, like humans, are most captivated by videos featuring social conflict and familiar group members. Researchers showed the macaques videos of monkeys engaged in fighting, grooming, running, or sitting, and found they spent the most time watching aggressive encounters.

Artificial Light Undermines Health: Aligning Modern Life With Biological Clocks

New research reveals that artificial light at night disrupts more than sleep, affecting immune function, metabolism, mood, and brain health. Circadian rhythms, finely tuned over millions of years, regulate critical biological processes and can be thrown off by modern lighting and irregular schedules.

TikTok ADHD Misinformation Can Mislead Young Minds

College students increasingly turn to TikTok for information, including on mental health. A new study found that exposure to misinformation about ADHD on the platform reduced students’ factual knowledge but increased their confidence in that knowledge. Participants who viewed misleading content were also more likely to seek both scientifically supported and unproven treatments.

Newborns and Alzheimer’s Patients Share a Brain Protein Spike

A new study has revealed that newborn babies and Alzheimer’s patients both have elevated levels of the same protein, p-tau217, in their blood. While this protein is a key marker of brain degeneration in Alzheimer’s, in newborns it appears to support healthy brain growth and development.

Chimpanzees and Children Share a Curiosity for Social Drama

A new study shows that both chimpanzees and young children are drawn to watching social interactions—sometimes even at a cost. When given a choice between viewing videos of social behavior or solo individuals, both species consistently chose the social scenes.

How Sleep Deprivation Amplifies Pain in Migraine

New research reveals that sleep deprivation alters how the brain processes pain in people with migraines. Using EEG and pain stimulation, scientists found that migraine sufferers’ brains respond differently after poor sleep, showing reduced ability to suppress pain signals.

New Map Reveals First Steps of Protein Clumping in Alzheimer’s

Scientists have mapped how over 140,000 mutations affect the formation of amyloid beta fibrils, offering an unprecedented look at early events in Alzheimer’s disease. By combining DNA synthesis, genetically engineered yeast, and machine learning, they built a detailed energy landscape of the protein’s transition state—an elusive moment before plaque formation begins.

T Cells Found Living in Healthy Brains

Contrary to long-standing beliefs, T cells—key immune cells—have been discovered in the healthy brains of both mice and humans. These cells, previously thought to only enter the brain during disease, were most concentrated in a region that regulates hunger and thirst.

Why Some Individuals Adapt to Fear Faster Than Others

A new study has uncovered the brain circuits responsible for individual differences in how animals adapt to repeated visual threats. Using advanced neural recording and manipulation tools, researchers identified two distinct pathways in the brain that drive either persistent escape or rapid habituation in mice.
