  • Movies reconstructed purely from mouse brain activity
    on March 10, 2026 at 9:31 am

    Scientists have successfully reconstructed videos purely from the brain activity of mice, showing what the mice were seeing, in a new study led by University College London (UCL) researchers. The findings, published in eLife, could help shed light on the intricate workings of how the brain processes visual information and open new avenues for exploring how different species perceive the world.

  • How voluntary exercise reshapes tryptophan metabolism through the gut microbiota

    Something happens when a rat starts running. Not just the obvious things, the faster heart, the warming muscles, the rhythmic percussion of paws against the wheel. Something quieter. Something that begins in the coiled darkness of the gut and travels, through blood and biochemistry, all the way to the hippocampus, that seahorse-shaped sliver of tissue where memories form and moods take root. A study published in Brain Medicine has begun to map that hidden journey, and what the researchers found suggests that exercise stimulates a molecular link between gut bacteria and the brain.

  • Mouse brain study reveals why blockbuster weight-loss drugs may work differently in females and males
    on March 10, 2026 at 5:00 am

    The drugs have names that sound like small planets: semaglutide, liraglutide, lixisenatide. Collectively, they belong to a class of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analogs that has reshaped the treatment of obesity and diabetes so thoroughly that the word “blockbuster” barely covers it. And yet, for all the billions of dollars spent, for all the prescriptions written, a fundamental question has lingered like a low hum beneath the clinical noise: where, precisely, does GLP-1 live inside the brain, and does it set up house differently in females and males? A new study published in Brain Medicine answers both questions with startling clarity.

  • New Jersey’s opioid gap persists as high-risk counties fall further behind
    on March 10, 2026 at 12:40 am

    Opioids such as fentanyl are “indiscriminate killers” that can be misused by people from all walks of life. But where you live may be more influential than previously realized, according to researchers at Rutgers University.

  • Why you can remember every word of a song from 25 years ago—but not why you walked into the room
    on March 9, 2026 at 11:30 pm

    While driving recently, a long-forgotten song came on the radio. I found myself singing along; not only did I know all the lyrics to a song I hadn’t heard in 25 years or more, but I also managed to rap along. How is it that I could give this rendition, but often cannot remember what I came into the room for?
