The Essential to Psychosis Recovery Could Be Neurological Remodeling.

Summary: A new study has uncovered the brain connectivity patterns that differentiate patients who recover from psychosis from those who do not. Using whole-brain computational models, researchers found that patients in remission show increased neural connectivity, while those with persistent symptoms show reduced connectivity.Both groups exhibited lower overall neural stability...

These 3 Negative 30 Habits Have an Impact on After Mental Health

Summary: A decades-long study in Finland reveals that smoking, heavy drinking, and physical inactivity in early adulthood are strongly linked to declining physical and mental health by age 36. Participants with all three habits showed elevated depression symptoms, higher metabolic risk, and lower self-rated health and wellbeing scores.These effects were...

AI predicts a child’s risk of developing brain tumor.

Summary: Researchers have developed an AI model that analyzes sequences of brain scans to accurately predict tumor recurrence in children with gliomas. By applying a method called temporal learning, the model interprets subtle changes in MR images taken post-treatment over time.The study found that using multiple images significantly outperforms traditional...

More quickly than we think, eyes reveal objectives.

Summary: Humans can detect another person’s intentions just by observing their eyes, even before any movement takes place. In experiments where participants watched video clips of people about to shift their gaze, viewers responded faster when the gaze was self-directed rather than instructed.This suggests that eye movements contain subtle cues...

Using horizontal head circuits, oxytocin generates moral responses.

Summary: A new study reveals that mice instinctively display rescue-like behaviors toward anesthetized peers, offering powerful evidence that prosociality may be hardwired in mammals. Researchers identified oxytocin as a key driver, activating two brain pathways to coordinate emotional and motor responses.One path processes emotional distress, while the other initiates helping...

Exercise Also Protects Memory When the Brain Is Low on Gas

Summary: New research shows that exercise may protect brain function even when the body can’t produce ketones, a vital energy source for cognition. When liver function is impaired and ketone levels drop, memory and learning typically suffer—but physical activity can still counteract those effects.This suggests exercise triggers alternative brain-supporting mechanisms...

Why Do Our Minds Often Get Blank?

Summary: Mind blanking—the experience of thinking about nothing—has often been misunderstood or lumped together with mind wandering. However, new research suggests it’s a distinct mental state linked to physiological arousal levels, with its own brain and body signatures.Mind blanks are common during prolonged attention, sleep deprivation, or physical fatigue, and...
