New research shows that as we age, our brains become better at processing past mistakes, reducing the anger and intensity associated with "long-term" regrets and shifting our perspective toward reflection and mea...

A new study involving 1,800 UK participants has found that while "brain fog" predicts a first episode of depression in healthy adults, those with a history of the disorder are actually more likely to relapse if t...

Many cancer patients turn to biotin supplements hoping to restore hair lost during treatment, but experts warn the popular vitamin may do more harm than good. While biotin is often marketed for stronger hair and nails, t...

The complex vocal duets of Alstons singing mice are powered by a simple tripling of existing neural connections, rather than a larger brain. This "evolutionary hack" offers a new playbook for understanding how hu...

Adults from ages 19 to 94 can measurably improve brain performance through consistent micro-training, proving that cognitive decline is not an inevitable part of the aging process.

New research from UCSF shows that a single high dose of the psychedelic compound creates lasting anatomical changes in brain tracts and "loosens" rigid thought patterns, leading to significant improvements in psy...

Researchers have used a designer cytokine, hIL-6, to "rewire" the spinal cord by stimulating the sprouting of new connections from intact nerve fibers. This approach successfully restored coordinated walking in p...

A new AI tool finds early hints of pancreatic cancer in CT scans that doctors would otherwise miss, an early test found.

New research shows that low doses of the psychoactive compound can reduce high-energy aggressive behaviors in mangrove rivulus fish while keeping social communication intact, offering a new vertebrate model for studying ...

Researchers have discovered that accelerated magnetic stimulation selectively targets IT neurons to regrow lost synaptic connections, providing the first cellular-level evidence of how TMS repairs the stress-damaged brai...

Eating eggs might do more than just start your day-it could help protect your brain. Researchers found that people 65 and older who eat eggs regularly have a significantly lower risk of developing Alzheimers disease, wit...

New research shows that when faced with ambiguous romantic cues, aroused individuals are significantly more likely to overestimate a partner's interest, potentially leading them to ignore mixed signals in early court...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have spotted something that shouldnt exist-at least not so early in the universe. A massive galaxy, formed less than 2 billion years after the Big Bang, appears to have no...

New footage shows NASA's Curiosity rover tilting, rotating and vibrating its robotic arm as mission scientists tried to remove a rock that became stuck on a drill for six days.

Only 3 per cent of those with polycystic ovary syndrome reach perimenopause by the age of 46, which may allow them to conceive when older

A bizarre planetary pairing 190 light-years away is challenging everything astronomers thought they knew about how worlds form. A lonely hot Jupiter - typically found without nearby companions - is sharing its system wit...

In a process analogous to how solids melt into liquids, the electrons in many different metals form crystal-like patterns that can deform and melt, opening new pathways for neuromorphic computing and superconductors, Uni...

A hiker poked into a hole in the ground and discovered a rare gold scabbard ornament from Norway's Migration period.

A comprehensive study exploring coffees physiological effects finds that some of its benefits are down to polyphenols and their influence on gut bacteria
