According to new research, communication between the gut and the brain is sophisticated enough to be classed as a new and distinct sense – one capable of affecting our appetite and even our mood. This two-way link has previously been associated with a variety of health issues, though the physical processes at work have never been clearly identified. Building on …

Yesterday the Pew Research Center released a report based on the internet browsing activity of 900 U.S. adults which found that Google users who encounter an AI summary are less likely to click on links to other websites than users who don’t encounter an AI summary. To be precise, only 1 percent of users who encountered an AI summary clicked …

Women on a widely–used contraceptive jab are three–and–a–half times more likely to suffer a potentially–fatal brain tumour, a study shows. It’s the third major investigation in just over a year to show the jab raises the risk of a meningioma, the most common type of tumour in the brain, in those on it for 12 months or more. Around 10,000 …

A longitudinal study of nearly 996 healthy adults found that the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated ageing of their brains. The resulting paper, “Accelerated brain ageing during the COVID-19 pandemic,” appeared in the Journal Nature Communications on Tuesday The paper explains that the UK’s Biobank contains longitudinal neuroimaging data describing the brains of over 15,000 Brits, and that scientists have used machine …

An unusual fossil brain suggests that the ancestors of spiders and other arachnids may have once scuttled around the sea, rather than on land as was long thought, a new study finds. The fossil shows that certain features of the brain of a now-extinct animal known as Mollisonia symmetrica are arranged backward compared with those of most modern arthropods, a …

It’s a familiar scene: a doting pet parent lovingly feeding their rescue dog a bowl of grain-free kibble—then later that evening, slicing into a filet mignon with equal satisfaction. Or the proud “chicken mom” who goes viral for knitting sweaters for her backyard hens…while ordering spicy wings from Uber Eats. These aren’t outliers—they’re all of us, to some degree. You …

World Brain Day was initiated by the World Federation of Neurology (WFN), marking the organization’s foundation day which now sees a worldwide participation from doctors, scientists, policymakers, patient advocates and individuals from across the globe. Each year, World Brain Day is celebrated with a specific theme imparting a conscious effort to understand the importance of neurological care. This year the …

Summary: Scientists developed a computational “aging clock” that measures the biological age of brain cells and identifies compounds with rejuvenating potential. By analyzing gene activity from healthy and neurodegenerative brain tissue, they pinpointed 453 interventions predicted to reverse cellular aging. Initial animal tests showed improvements in behavior, cognition, and molecular markers of youth in older mice. This breakthrough paves the …

Whether it’s an exam, flight or health check, some people take a sunny view of the future while others plan for catastrophes. Now researchers have found that people with an upbeat outlook show similar patterns of brain activity when they mull over future scenarios. “Optimists seem to use a shared neural framework for organising thoughts about the future, which likely …
