Moffitt Cancer Center researchers are working to better understand the molecular mechanisms that promote the development and progression of breast cancer brain metastasis to help improve diagnostics and treatments.

Screen time is well known to affect sleep, and new research has shown that interactive engagement, like video games, disrupts sleep more than passive screen time, like watching TV.

New research has identified that the phenomenon of finding someone attractive while drunk but not when sober is not related to impaired facial symmetry detection.

By observing daydreaming mice, researchers are one step closer to figuring out what happens in the brain when we daydream, identifying an overlooked brain region that may be involved.

Genetic material from Neanderthal ancestors may have contributed to the propensity of some people today to be “early risers,” the sort of people who are more comfortable getting up and going to bed earlier.

Blue light from LED lamps can mess with your sleep because it disrupts production of the natural sleep hormone melatonin. Researchers have designed more “human-centric” LEDs that could potentially enhance drowsiness or alertness on command.

Researchers have used single-cell sequencing to identify every cell in a system, revealing new brain cell subtypes and enabling detailed research into brain changes in Alzheimer's.

Study participants were far more likely to choose food that is labeled “healthy” and/or “sustainable” than food labeled “vegan” or “plant-based.” The effect was most pronounced among Americans who identify as red meat-eaters.

The use of food-date labels such as “use-by” and “best if used by” causes consumer confusion that results in many Americans discarding food that is safe to eat or donate, according to the November 2023 Consumer Food Insights Report.

A new study has explored potential links between complement proteins in newborns and the risk of developing six mental disorders later in life.
