The chemical messenger FLP-11 activates a receptor called DMSR-1 in different neurons to either silence wakefulness or shut down sleep, acting as a biological on-off...

- How Personality Shapes Emotional IntimacyWhile neuroticism is strongly associated with lower relationship satisfaction, the behavioral mechanisms driving this link have remained unclear. In a week-long daily diary study involving 246 participants, researchers identified specific negative and positive behaviors in romantic relationships....

- Lowering Blood Pressure May Cut Dementia Risk by Up to 15%A massive study in rural China found that intensively lowering blood pressure significantly reduces the risk of dementia and cognitive decline in people with hypertension. Over 48 months, patients who received targeted care saw a 15% reduction in dementia and a 16% drop in cognitive impairment risk....

- Brain ‘Reset Wave’ May Explain How ECT Rapidly Relieves DepressionElectroconvulsive therapy (ECT), long misunderstood due to outdated portrayals, remains the most effective treatment for severe, treatment-resistant mental illness. While traditionally thought to work solely through induced seizures, new research reveals that ECT also triggers a second brain event: cortical spreading depolarization (CSD)....

- Night Owls Face Faster Cognitive DeclinePeople who naturally stay up late, so-called "night owls", are more likely to experience faster cognitive decline than those who are early risers, according to a long-term study. Researchers found that unhealthy behaviors common in the evening, such as poor sleep, smoking, and drinking, may explain part of this risk....

- SSRIs Restore Brain Function in Alzheimer’sA new study suggests that SSRIs, commonly prescribed antidepressants, may reduce biological markers of Alzheimer’s disease. In a cohort of 191 individuals, AD patients on SSRIs had lower levels of plasma phosphorylated tau-181, a key indicator of disease severity....

- Why Some Individuals Adapt to Fear Faster Than OthersA 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....

- Blood Fat Links Found Between Heart Risk and Alzheimer’sNew research reveals complex relationships between blood lipid levels and the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia. While small dense LDL cholesterol—linked to heart disease—was associated with increased Alzheimer’s risk, other markers like ApoB48 were linked to reduced risk....

- Study Ties Racial Inequality to Psychosis in Young AdultsA new study finds that racial inequality and police violence may significantly contribute to higher rates of psychotic episodes in low-income young adults of color. While individual factors like trauma and drug use have long been studied, this research highlights the powerful role of structural oppression....
