A new study involving 1,200 men reveals why male victims of intimate partner violence avoid seeking help, citing shame, stigma, and cultural barriers.

Researchers have mapped over 830,000 brain immune cells, revealing a protective subtype of microglia that increases with Alzheimer’s progression. This subtype aids in clearing harmful material via the TREM2 pathway. The findings suggest new therapeutic targets focused on bolstering the brain's immune response rather than solely targeting amyloid plaques.

A new study study shows specialized astrocytes repair brain damage by sending cell nuclei through long cellular extensions to rebuild glial networks.

A new study compares human eye-tracking to 400+ LLMs, revealing where AI fails to explain human rereading and text integration.

Happy human faces activate the canine reward system, while dog brains generate distinct activity patterns to differentiate between human anger, fear, and sadness.

The medial prefrontal cortex can block creative problem-solving by enforcing default habits, and silencing it accelerates strategy shifts.

A new study shows how exercise releases muscle-derived "exerkines" that protect dopamine neurons and counter sarcopenia in Parkinson's disease.

A new study introduces "apical hypercontextualisation," explaining how psychedelics target serotonin receptors on layer V pyramidal neurons to shift brain processing from raw sensory input toward associative context.

Researchers uses The Virtual Brain to show how regional acetylcholine receptor density shapes whole-brain activity and localized sleep waves.

Early-life stress elevates the enzyme SETD7 in dopamine neurons, uncoiling DNA and creating a physical scar that heightens adult stress vulnerability.

A new study demonstrates that human overconfidence persists because its decision-making costs make it a credible, peacock-like evolutionary signal of underlying ability.

Peripheral blood-derived immune cells cross into the aging human brain and transform into functional microglia.
