How Astrocyte Subtype Shifts Disrupt Emotional Brain Networks
Summary: Recent evidence shows that astrocytes—long considered passive support cells—play an active, central role in neural circuitry and emotional regulation. Researchers mapped…
TDP-43 Loss Reduces Microglial Phagocytosis
Summary: Researchers have shown that losing normal TDP-43 function specifically in microglia disrupts brain development. Without TDP-43, microglia experience a collapse of…
Alcohol Impacts Brain Flexibility in People With Hidden Dementia
Summary: New research examined the corticostriatal circuit — a key neural pathway that supports decision-making, goal-directed actions, and behavioral flexibility — and…
Ketogenic Diet May Improve Schizophrenia and Bipolar Symptoms
Summary: Researchers report that a ketogenic diet—which shifts the body from glucose toward fat-derived ketones for fuel—produced rapid metabolic benefits and notable…
Detect Dopamine Levels with Tear Analysis
Summary: An international research team developed a postage-stamp-sized electrochemical sensor made from laser-patterned graphene to measure dopamine noninvasively in tear fluid. Engineered…
Air Pollution Linked to Higher Parkinson’s Disease Risk
Summary: A pooled analysis of 26 international studies reveals a consistent association between long-term exposure to ambient fine particulate air pollution and…
How Dendritic Branching Unlocked Human Intelligence
Summary: Researchers have shown that individual human cortical neurons act like powerful, compact microchips. Using artificial intelligence to quantify the computational complexity…
How Childhood Trauma Sabotages Adult Relationships
Summary: Researchers analyzed data from more than 200 adult couples and found that adverse childhood experiences create a subtle, cumulative “wear and…
