A new study suggests mushrooms, dairy and nuts may help protect brain health. The researchers examined 13 groups of foods and several facets of cognitive health. Mushrooms appeared to have the most impact of all, and they’re easy to add to your meals. As we age, the risk of cognitive decline, like memory loss or trouble focusing, rises. Dementia, which …

Summary: Researchers analyzing post-mortem brain tissue found two cell types altered in people with depression: excitatory neurons that regulate mood and stress, and microglia that manage inflammation. The findings highlight how depression is tied to measurable brain changes, not just emotional symptoms. By mapping gene activity alongside DNA regulation, scientists identified key cellular disruptions unique to depression. This breakthrough could …

Summary: New research reveals that primates with longer thumbs tend to have larger brains, suggesting that manual dexterity and brain evolution developed together. The study analyzed 94 living and extinct primate species and found a consistent link between thumb length and brain size. Surprisingly, the growth was tied to the neocortex — the region linked to higher thinking — rather …

Summary: New research shows that practicing breathwork while listening to music can induce profound altered states of consciousness similar to those caused by psychedelics. Using self-reports and brain imaging, scientists found that HVB both activated the body’s stress response and increased blood flow to emotion-processing regions like the amygdala and hippocampus. These changes correlated with bliss, emotional release, and unity, …

Summary: Scientists have discovered that a toxic complex formed between NMDA receptors and TRPM4 channels drives neuron death in Alzheimer’s disease. Using a novel molecule called FP802, researchers were able to break apart this “death complex” in mice, preventing cognitive decline, synapse loss, and mitochondrial damage. The treatment also reduced amyloid buildup, suggesting it could offer broader protection than existing …

Scientists have developed a new type of artificial intelligence (AI) model that can reason differently from most large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, resulting in much better performance in key benchmarks. The new reasoning AI, called a hierarchical reasoning model (HRM), is inspired by the hierarchical and multi-timescale processing in the human brain — the way different brain regions integrate …
