A new study suggests that gabapentin, a widely used anti-seizure medication, may improve survival in patients with glioblastoma (GBM), the deadliest form of brain cancer.

Summary: Large language model (LLM) AI agents, when interacting in groups, can form shared social conventions without centralized coordination. Researchers adapted a classic “naming game” framework to ...

The brain uses two separate dopamine-based learning systems: one for evaluating outcomes and another for reinforcing repeated actions.

Researchers have, for the first time, tracked how individual neurons lose and recover energy during spreading depolarizations ...

A new study reveals that a small cluster of cells near the brain's "blue spot"—the locus coeruleus—helps regulate arousal, ...

Summary: New brain imaging research reveals that sudden “aha!” moments not only feel satisfying but actually restructure how the brain stores information, enhancing long-term memory. Participants ...

Summary: New research reveals that neurons in the visual cortex are far more adaptable than previously thought, responding dynamically to complex stimuli during object recognition tasks. While visual ...

Summary: Alcohol use among women has surged to match men’s rates, but women face far greater health risks even at lower consumption levels. A growing body of research is uncovering key neurobiological ...

Summary: Researchers have developed the MyoStep, a next-generation soft exoskeleton designed to help children with cerebral palsy walk more easily and safely. Combining artificial muscles, smart ...

Summary: The speed of your eye movements, called saccades, determines how fast an object can move before it becomes invisible to you. Objects that mimic the speed and trajectory of saccades can ...

Summary: A new study reveals that simple daily behaviors, such as chatting with friends, spending time in nature, and engaging in mentally stimulating activities, are strongly linked to improved ...

Summary: A large study found that people whose biological age exceeds their chronological age are about 30% more likely to develop dementia. Biological age, measured through biomarkers like lung ...
