Neural Secrets are revealed when body’s membrane cycle is modelled.

Summary: A new computational model has mapped the brain’s vesicle cycle in unprecedented detail, providing fresh insight into how nerve cells communicate. Researchers collaborated to simulate how vesicles—tiny sacs that release neurotransmitters—operate within synapses.The model reveals how proteins like synapsin-1 and tomosyn-1 regulate the recycling of vesicles, enabling synaptic transmission...

Sunlight Also Influences Human Nap

Summary: Despite modern lighting and lifestyle, human sleep patterns remain deeply influenced by seasonal changes in sunlight. New research reveals that our circadian rhythms track daylight shifts across seasons, impacting mood, sleep alignment, and overall health.Using data from medical residents and genetic samples, the study found that individuals’ internal clocks...

How Family and Personality Influence Athletic Self-Perception

Summary: A new study of Japanese undergraduates finds that students’ perceptions of their own athletic ability are shaped by a mix of personality traits, childhood environment, and social feedback. Those who rated themselves as more athletic also tended to display grit, resilience, and a growth mindset.Factors like early walking age,...

Smart device monitors the head waste system

Summary: A new wearable device has been developed to noninvasively monitor the brain’s glymphatic system, which helps clear waste and may play a role in neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s. Traditionally only measurable via MRI, researchers can now observe this system throughout different sleep stages using a head cap embedded with...

Sleep help properly protect the brain from Alzheimer’s Disease.

Summary: A common sleep medication, lemborexant, may do more than promote rest—it appears to reduce harmful tau buildup and protect the brain from neurodegeneration in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers found that this orexin receptor antagonist not only restored healthier sleep patterns but also preserved brain structure and reduced...

The Brain’s Vast Memory Power Could Be Found in Astrocytes, which Could Be the Major to its Vast Memory.

Summary: New research proposes that astrocytes—long thought to be merely supportive cells—may significantly enhance the brain’s ability to store memories. Unlike neurons, astrocytes cannot fire electrical signals but can influence synaptic activity through calcium signaling and gliotransmitters.A computational model based on dense associative memory suggests astrocytes could link multiple neurons...

Autism and Early-Onset Parkinson’s Chance: A Link Found

Summary: A large-scale Swedish study has found that individuals with autism are at significantly higher risk of developing early-onset Parkinson’s disease. Researchers followed over two million people and discovered that those with autism were four times more likely to develop the neurodegenerative condition before age 50.The connection may stem from...

Singing to kids improves mood and bond

Summary: A new randomized study found that when parents sing more frequently to their infants, both babies and caregivers experience measurable improvements in mood and wellbeing. The study involved 110 caregiver-infant pairs who participated in a four-week music enrichment intervention via smartphone.Results showed that singing increased significantly, especially in soothing...
