Strokes lead to irreversible damage to the brain and are one of the most common causes of dependency or death. As the cellular reactions to a cerebral infarction are not yet fully understood, there is a lack of possible approaches to promote the regeneration of damaged nerve tissue in the brain. A new study closes
Judging how happy you are could backfire and negatively impact life satisfaction and psychological well-being, according to new research.

A recent study shows that people are commonly given misleading information about depression. According to the researchers, the inaccurate information makes it harder for people to understand the causes of their distress. A recent Finnish study shows that people are commonly given misleading information about depression. According to the researchers, the inaccurate information makes it
A research team tracked children from infancy through age 3 to explore the roots of emotional overeating. Parents/caregivers were surveyed about the children's temperaments and whether they consumed food to manage their emotions. The team found that while emotional overeating was associated with temperament and individuals' capacity to manage their emotions, parents' and caregivers' reactions
Although people lie a lot, they typically refrain from accusing others of lying because of social norms around making false accusations and being polite. But artificial intelligence (AI) could soon shake up the rules. Researchers demonstrate that people are much more likely to accuse others of lying when an AI makes an accusation. The finding
Researchers find that growing up in neighborhoods with more educational and socioeconomic opportunities has a positive impact on infants' brain activity. Growing up in neighborhoods with more educational and socioeconomic opportunities has a positive impact on infants' brain activity, according to new research from Boston Medical Center (BMC). The study, published in The Journal of
While the liver is one of the body's most resilient organs, it is still vulnerable to the ravages of stress and aging, leading to disease, severe scarring and failure. A research team now might have found a way to turn back time and restore the liver. In experiments using mice and liver tissue from humans
Neuroscientists have discovered how the brain bidirectionally controls sensitivity to threats to initiate and complete escape behaviour in mice. These findings could help unlock new directions for discovering therapies for anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Sahiti Chebolu from the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics delves into the complex world of procrastination, using a precise mathematical framework to understand its various patterns and underlying reasons. Her research offers valuable insights that have the potential to revolutionize strategies for reclaiming productivity and combatting procrastination
In the academic setting. The findings highlight the advanced capabilities of AI in producing responses that closely resemble human-generated answers, posing a challenge for discerning exam markers. This raises important considerations for the future of education and assessment, as AI continues to advance and integrate into various aspects of academia
Discovery of the first known case of Down syndrome in Neanderthals. This groundbreaking finding sheds light on the caregiving abilities of our ancient relatives, showcasing their capacity for altruistic care and support within their social groups. The study, led by a team of researchers from various institutions, including Binghamton University, unveils the distinctive qualities of Neanderthals and highlights their pivotal role in advancing our understanding of human evolution
Not all patients with depression respond to medication. Two recently published studies provide additional information on how an alternative treatment, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), could be further enhanced. Researchers developed more precise methods that could, in the future, help to develop individually tailored magnetic stimulation therapies for depression. Magnetic stimulation therapy may assist patients for

A new study found that nearly 75 per cent of young people with a psychotic disorder had at least one mental health service visit within the three years prior to their first diagnosis of the disorder. A new study by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), entitled "Mental Health Service Use Before First
