Musical improvisation suppresses self-critical prefrontal regions in adults and activates intrinsic reward structures in children, demonstrating that generative creativity is an innate brain mechanism.

A new study reveals that mice pay a physical reward cost to gain advance information, driven by a distinct population of orbitofrontal cortex neurons that encode the intrinsic value of knowledge.

Controlled breathing interventions significantly reduce substance cravings across alcohol, nicotine, opioids, and stimulants, offering a scalable adjunct to standard addiction therapies.

Learning relies on refining the strength of existing connections rather than building new neural pathways, pointing to a shared computational principle in human and artificial intelligence.

A new study demonstrates that psilocybin-assisted therapy is safe and achieves a 75% remission rate in veterans with severe, treatment-resistant PTSD.

Focused ultrasound effectively opens the blood-brain barrier in gliomas, proving that brain tumors are highly receptive to targeted, size-optimized drug delivery.

An international initiative establishes the first consensus framework for vocal biomarkers, creating standardized definitions to accelerate voice-based disease diagnostics.

Analyzing UK sugar rationing data shows that limiting sugar exposure in utero and during the first two years of life reduces dementia risk by up to 23% and delays disease onset by 2.6 years.

A new study presents a mathematical framework showing that organisms shift abruptly from reactive to memory-based strategies only when energy resources exceed a critical threshold, with memory offering peak utility under moderate environmental uncertainty.

The m6A reader protein IGF2BP3 stabilizes TRNAU1AP mRNA to drive protective selenoprotein synthesis, revealing a novel targeted drug vulnerability in glioblastoma.

Oral semaglutide reduces heavy drinking days, daily cravings, and alcohol-related problems in adults with Alcohol Use Disorder.

Researchers discovered a metabolic paradox during REM sleep: while brain blood volume and fuel supply increase, internal neuronal ATP levels decline.

Scientists developed CapuchinAI, an open-source platform combining facial recognition and touchscreens to automate cognitive testing of wild capuchin monkeys in Costa Rica.

Photoreceptors perform their own internal waste recycling using lysosomal pathways regulated by the PIKfyve enzyme.

Eye contact between infants and adult speakers synchronizes their brainwaves to enable language acquisition.

Researchers developed a brain-inspired AI model modeled on hippocampal mechanisms including cognitive maps and stochastic calculations.

Researchers introduced Core2Edge, a human-tissue model combining patient-derived glioblastoma organoids with brain slices.

Consistent daily routines for waking, eating, and sleeping reduces physical pain and depressive symptoms in older adults, buffering against the negative health impacts of insomnia by synchronizing circadian rhythms.
