Summary: A new study has revealed that newborn babies and Alzheimer’s patients both have elevated levels of the same protein, p-tau217, in their blood. While this protein is a key marker of brain degeneration in Alzheimer’s, in newborns it appears to support healthy brain growth and development.The highest levels were...
Overconfidentidefueled opinion in Fringe Conspiracy Theories
Summary: New research reveals that people who believe in conspiracy theories tend to be overconfident and unaware of how unusual their views really are. Across eight studies, participants who believed in false conspiracies consistently overestimated their performance on cognitive tests and thought the majority of others agreed with them—even when...
Aging Expands Through the Bloodstream
Summary: New research reveals that aging isn’t just a local cellular process—it can spread throughout the body via the bloodstream. A redox-sensitive protein called ReHMGB1, secreted by senescent cells, was found to trigger aging features in distant tissues, impairing regeneration and muscle function.Blocking ReHMGB1 with antibodies in mice reduced cellular...
Caffeine Helps Aging Cells Get an Energy improve
Summary: New research shows that caffeine may help slow ageing at the cellular level by activating AMPK, a key energy-sensing pathway. Using fission yeast as a model for human cells, scientists found that caffeine boosts AMPK activity, which helps cells manage stress, repair DNA, and regulate growth.AMPK is also targeted...
Had AMD’s vision loss be prevented by this protein?
Summary: A new study reveals that increasing levels of apolipoprotein M (ApoM) may slow or prevent the progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a major cause of blindness in older adults. Researchers found that low ApoM impairs cholesterol metabolism in the retina, contributing to inflammation and vision loss—especially in advanced...
Why do kids know languages more quickly than AI do?
Summary: Despite AI’s massive processing power, children still far outperform machines in learning language, and a new framework helps explain why. Unlike AI systems that passively absorb text, children learn through multisensory exploration, social interaction, and self-driven curiosity.Their language learning is active, embodied, and deeply tied to motor, cognitive, and...
Kids and Children Have a Social Dramatic Curiosity, Similar to Children and Children.
Summary: A new study shows that both chimpanzees and young children are drawn to watching social interactions, sometimes even at a cost. When given a choice between viewing videos of social behavior or solo individuals, both species consistently chose the social scenes.Some participants, including young children and male chimps, even...
GLP-1 Drug Halfes Migraine Weeks
Summary: A new study finds that the diabetes drug liraglutide significantly reduced monthly migraine days in patients with obesity and chronic migraine. Participants reported an average of 11 fewer headache days per month, alongside improved disability scores and quality of life.The benefit appears linked to reduced brain fluid pressure, not...
Liberal Speech Disorder Brain Inflammation is mapped using PET Imaging.
Summary: A novel PET imaging study has identified unique patterns of neuroinflammation in patients with progressive apraxia of speech (PAOS), a rare disorder that impairs the brain’s ability to plan speech. Using TSPO PET scans, researchers found elevated inflammation in brain regions involved in movement and speech, particularly in patients...
Higher Birth Risks Are Related to Older Motherhood, Particularly After 45
Summary: A study analyzing over 300,000 births in Sweden found that babies born to mothers over 40—especially those aged 45 and older—face higher risks of complications at birth. These include stillbirth, premature delivery, low birth weight for gestational age, and neonatal low blood sugar.While serious complications remain rare overall, the...
