New research reveals that cognitive benefits from exercise can be passed from grandfathers to grandsons, suggesting that physical activity may enhance brain function across generations through epigenetic changes, even without direct exercise in offspring.
Researchers found that blocking a protein called Activin A can prevent dyskinesia, a debilitating side effect of Parkinson's treatment, potentially allowing patients to stay on levodopa longer without developing uncontrollable movements.
A new study suggests that tree-covered areas may reduce the likelihood of ADHD in children by promoting physical activity, highlighting the potential mental health benefits of greenspaces and the importance of preserving natural environments in urban planning.
New research suggests that exposure to artificial light at night may increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, particularly in younger people, highlighting light pollution as a potential factor in the rise of neurodegenerative conditions.
New research suggests different forms of narcissism influenced pandemic behaviors differently, with some types leading to antisocial actions like hoarding or conspiracy belief endorsement, while others promoted prosocial behaviors, such as following health guidelines.
A study published in Marketing Letters found that self-perceived attractiveness can promote prosocial behavior through increased public self-consciousness and impression management, but only when these actions are visible to others.
Brain imaging research has found that highly creative individuals' brains are more connected during rest but become less locally focused during creative tasks.
A study found that while AI tools improve student feedback quality, students tend to rely on AI rather than learn from it. Removing AI support leads to poorer performance, and combining AI with self-regulation strategies offers no significant improvement.
Psychological stress disrupts communication between the brain and gut, reducing protective mucus production in the intestines. This weakens the immune system and makes the body more vulnerable to infections, but probiotics may help restore balance.
Relationship satisfaction generally declines over time, according to new longitudinal research. The study pinpointed a key tipping point for relationship breakups.
Men who frequently focus on women’s bodies are more likely to accept harmful attitudes like rape myths, engage in sexual aggression, and show reduced emotional responses to images of injured women.
A study found that neuroticism and introversion are significant predictors of depression across the lifespan, with anxiety showing strong links to these traits in adulthood, while physical health factors like BMI also contribute to depression risk.
A new study suggests that being cheated on by a partner can lead to long-term health problems, like chronic conditions, and this negative impact persists even with support from friends or family, particularly for lower-income and minority individuals.
Recent research suggests Trump's rhetoric increased anti-Asian hate tweets during the early COVID-19 pandemic, while mixed support was found for other factors like COVID-19 infection rates and public health measures.
The COVID-19 virus mutates faster in the brain than in the lungs, potentially explaining neurological symptoms like brain fog. These mutations may help the virus adapt, raising concerns about the evolution of new variants.
