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.

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).

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
