Glucose Levels Act as Signal for Myelin Growth in Brain
New research shows that local glucose levels signal stem-like cells to either multiply or mature into myelin-producing oligodendrocytes, shaping brain development.
Brain Health Is a Lifelong Journey, Not Just a Senior Issue
A new scientific statement redefines brain health as a lifelong process shaped by childhood experiences, sleep, gut health, and social factors—not just blood pressure or genetics.
The Brain’s Creative Bridge: How Your Daydreams Link to Logic
A new study maps a brain region that connects daydreaming and logical thinking, with the distance between these networks predicting creativity.
Single-Cell Learning: How a Brainless Organism Uses Neuron-Like Machinery
New research reveals that the giant single-celled Stentor coeruleus uses calcium signaling and the enzyme CaMKII to learn and remember, suggesting learning predates the evolution of brains.
AI Model Spots Alzheimer's Signs a Decade Before Symptoms
FINGERS-7B, an AI foundation model, uses multi-omic 'biological fingerprints' to detect preclinical Alzheimer's with 4× greater accuracy, enabling prevention up to 10 years early.
Ketone Body Beta-Hydroxybutyrate Restores Organelle Homeostasis in Alzheimer's Model
A 2026 study in fruit flies shows that beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) reverses Alzheimer's-related cellular damage by remodeling the C99 interactome via VPS35.
Brain Training in Older Adults Linked to Lower Dementia Risk Decades Later
A long-term study from the University of Florida found that older adults who did brain training exercises were less likely to develop dementia 10 years later.
Diverse training data boosts EEG-based Parkinson's detection accuracy to 94%
New research shows that training AI on EEG data from multiple populations yields more robust and generalizable Parkinson's disease biomarkers, achieving up to 94.1% accuracy.
How Video Games Are Turning Gamers into Cognitive Science Contributors
Researchers embed cognitive experiments into video games like Sea Hero Quest to study memory and navigation in millions of players worldwide.
New math reveals hidden brain network changes during epileptic seizures
Researchers developed a quantitative theory of directed higher-order structures in brain networks, revealing changes in topology from pre-ictal to ictal phases in EEG data from epilepsy patients.
Why the ‘Average Brain’ Is a Myth – What 4,000 Kids Show Us
A massive study of 4,000 children reveals that individual brain dynamics often contradict group averages, paving the way for personalized neuroscience.
Bottled-Up Stress May Speed Memory Decline in Older Chinese Americans
Internalizing stress—especially hopelessness—significantly accelerates memory decline in older Chinese Americans, even when community support is present.
