A new EEG analysis shows that DMT reduces structure in theta, alpha and beta brainwaves, shifting neural activity away from its usual balance between order and randomness. Larger disruptions were tracked with stronger reports of ego death.

Researchers have identified a brain circuit that can drive repetitive and compulsive behaviours in mice, even when natural rewards such as food or social contact are available.

Researchers show that chronic growth hormone excess drives liver aging by boosting glycation stress and inflammation. Mice engineered to overproduce GH developed liver changes mirroring natural aging, but lowering glycation reversed many effects.

Researchers have discovered a natural mechanism that clears existing amyloid plaques in the brain and preserves cognitive function.

A new intranasal nanotherapy activates the STING immune pathway to target glioblastoma. Delivered through the nose, it eradicated tumors in mice and avoided the invasiveness of direct intratumoral administration.

New research indicates that mitochondrial dysfunction triggers a cascade of cellular changes that drive Parkinson’s disease.

A technique for calming your nervous system using a heart rate monitor can significantly reduce symptoms of both PTSD and chronic pain.

MIT researchers mapped RNA editing across more than 200 individual fly motor neurons, uncovering hundreds of canonical and non-canonical edits with highly variable rates between cells. The atlas reveals how editing influences neural diversity.

New research has identified that major depressive disorder is deeply connected to the immune system.

Scientists are paving the way for an artificial nervous system for robotics, utilizing artificial neurons that replicate brain cell behavior.
