⚠️Think alcohol or cannabis helps with pain? It might — temporarily. But over time, they can make you more sensitive to pain and raise your risk of addiction. Read more📖: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Amisulpride is often used to treat #schizophrenia, but how does it work? New research shows it boosts acetate levels and shifts the body toward an anti-inflammatory state. The question now is: How do these changes relate to clinical outcomes? 🤔 Read more: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🦠🧠New study links #gut bacteria imbalances to #depression. Chronic #stress alters the #microbiome, increases #inflammation, and damages #brain cells.

🌡️According to Elias Acevedo, #temperature shapes what we #think, #feel, and do. Read more about its impact on #attention, #memory, #perception, and #motivation: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Prospective #memory—our ability to remember and execute plans—has been linked to #heart rate variability. This new study shows how #cardiac vagal control influences #cognition in patients with coronary artery disease🫀🧠 ElsevierNeuroscience sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

URB597 for treating #depression? 🧠 This FAAH inhibitor reduced stress-related #inflammation, boosted BDNF in the #hippocampus & #mPFC of stressed rats, and improved #memory in males. Could it lead to sex-specific treatments? Read more: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Inflammation in the #hypothalamus has long been linked to #obesity and #metabolic #disorders. A new review now sheds light on #tanycytes and their potential for reshaping how we treat metabolic disease. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Ever tried a cold plunge to lose weight? 🧊 In a new study, participants who did cold-water immersion ate significantly more afterward. So while it might cool you down, it just might be firing up your appetite. 🍝 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

How do postprandial hormones and astrocytes influence hippocampal function? Read all about it in this new review:

New research shows that outdoor #exercise significantly boosts #cognitive function in 11–13-year-olds — especially inhibitory control, working #memory, and #attention — compared to indoor #workouts. 🌳🧠 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

One of the best things you can do for your kid’s brain? Make them play outside. A new study shows outdoor physical activity significantly improves working memory, attention, and inhibition—compared to doing the exact same thing indoors.

How does performing #cognitive and #physical tasks simultaneously affect #brain wave activity? 🧠⬇️ High-frequency brainwaves (gamma, beta, alpha) decrease 🧠⬆️ Low-frequency waves (theta, delta) increase This shift may reflect an energy-efficient brain state under dual-tasking

🍄🧠Psilocybin may help treat #anorexia by boosting cognitive flexibility and reshaping reward processing—key brain functions impaired in the disorder. Its effects go beyond serotonin, tapping into dopamine pathways to drive neuroplasticity. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Water before meals = 💧Less hunger 💧Fewer calories 💧More weight loss Simple habit, big impact—especially for middle-aged and older adults. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Opioid use during adolescence rewires the brain’s reward system—heightening sensitivity to #drugs and dulling natural reward responses. These changes can persist into adulthood, possibly explaining the increased risk of #addiction sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Gut bacteria🦠 may shape the infant brain 👶🏼🧠 as early as 2 weeks of age! New study by Nicolas Murgueitio and colleagues links #gut #microbiome composition to #brain regions like the #insula and #thalamus, key for emotion and sensation. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🧠🦠 An imbalanced #gut #microbiome may worsen #Parkinson’s symptoms. In mice, disrupting gut bacteria led to more motor problems, inflammation, and loss of dopamine-producing neurons. However, restoring healthy microbes helped reverse the damage. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
