It's not just how long you fast, but when you stop eating. New research shows that finishing your last meal three hours before bed is the secret to boosting heart health.

Scientists have discovered that the human eye "rewires" itself during development to achieve sharp vision. This breakthrough could lead to new lab-grown transplants for macular degeneration.

Does treating depression with antidepressants during pregnancy harm the baby? A massive new study reveals that while SSRIs increase gestational diabetes risk, they also protect against preterm birth.

An old drug for glaucoma might be the key to stopping opioid relapse. New research shows acetazolamide "resets" the brain's reward center to block cravings.

Can a library card delay dementia? A new study shows that reading, writing, and lifelong learning can push back Alzheimer’s symptoms by five years, building a "cognitive reserve" that defies brain aging.

Generative AI doesn’t just hallucinate at us, it can shape how we hallucinate with it. By affirming and elaborating on users’ beliefs, conversational systems may help false narratives take root and grow.

New neuroscience research shows psychedelics alter brain waves to suppress incoming visual input and boost memory-linked circuitry. This rewiring helps explain how vivid hallucinations arise, and highlights how these drugs might be used therapeutically.

Think Parkinson's weight loss is just about nutrition? New research shows it’s actually a sign of an internal energy engine failure. By switching to a fat-burning "emergency engine," the body tries to compensate for a brain in crisis, making thinness a vital biological warning sign.

Is the IDOL enzyme the key to stopping Alzheimer's? New research shows that blocking this single target can dissolve brain plaques and boost cognitive resilience. By lowering the brain's "strongest risk factor" protein, scientists have found a new way to keep neurons communicating even under attack.

Think lead is a problem of the past? New research shows that lead stored in your bones for decades could triple your risk of Alzheimer’s disease. By tracking thousands of adults, scientists have discovered that historical exposure to leaded gas and paint is a "silent" driver of nearly 1 in 5 dementia cases.

New research suggests that nighttime heat during pregnancy is a secret risk factor for autism. By tracking thousands of pregnancies, scientists discovered that extreme overnight temperatures during key developmental windows can significantly increase the likelihood of a diagnosis.

Forget the hype about AI "solving" human cognition, new research suggests that the most advanced models may just be master test-takers rather than true thinkers. By uncovering a "glitch" in how AI processes instructions, scientists have revealed that the path to a truly general cognitive model is blocked by a lack of genuine language understanding.
