    Stanford Medicine says the human brain is two organs●Stanford Medicine reveals human brain is two organsβ–ΆyoutubeHealthMedicine1.2M11 min ago

    Stanford Medicine is drawing widespread attention with the claim that the human brain functions as two distinct organs rather than a single one. The announcement was reported by KRON 4 and has generated heavy engagement online. Details of the research, including how the finding was reached and its implications for neuroscience and medicine, were not included in the coverage available.

    Foreign researchers leaving the U.S. over immigration policy●Immigration changes are driving foreign researchers to leave the U.S.YhnWorldImmigration955 min ago

    A new survey reported by STAT finds that recent changes to U.S. immigration policy are prompting foreign-born researchers to leave the country. Respondents cite visa uncertainty and restrictive measures as key factors, raising concerns that the United States could lose scientific talent to other countries that offer more stable pathways for skilled workers.

    CTE: What science actually knows and what remains unknownβ–ΌThe CTE conversation: What science actually knows (and what we don’t)βœ‰newsScience23 min ago

    Chronic traumatic encephalopathy is back in the news, with coverage examining the current state of scientific knowledge about the degenerative brain disease linked to repeated head impacts. Reports emphasise that while researchers have documented CTE in athletes and others with head trauma histories, key questions remain open, including how widely it occurs, how to diagnose it in living people, and how repeated hits translate into disease.

    Scientists find stress-triggered molecular switch behind depression●Scientists uncover a stress-triggered molecular switch that drives depressionβœ‰newsScienceBiology3 h ago

    Researchers report identifying a molecular switch triggered by stress that appears to drive depression, according to a report by Bioengineer.org. The finding could shed light on how chronic stress produces changes in the brain that lead to depressive symptoms, potentially opening new avenues for treatment. Details of the underlying study, including the research team, publication venue and evidence, were not provided in available coverage.

    New book criticised for outdated story on sex differences in mindsβ–ΌHow has evolution shaped men's and women's minds? A new book tells an outdated storyβœ‰newsCultureBooks1 h ago

    A newly published book claims evolution shaped men's and women's minds in distinct ways, and critics are pushing back. A detailed review argues the book relies on an outdated account of evolutionary psychology, overstating settled differences between male and female cognition while ignoring more recent research emphasising variation and plasticity. The exchange has reignited a long-running scientific debate over how much of the mental gap between the sexes is biologically hardwired versus shaped by culture and individual experience.

    Study Links Higher Vitamin Levels To Healthier Brain Scansβ–ΌAdults With More Of This Vitamin Had Healthier Brain Scans, Study Findsβœ‰newsHealthNutrition4 h ago

    A new study reports that adults with higher levels of a particular vitamin showed healthier results on brain scans. The finding, highlighted by health news outlets, adds to ongoing research into how nutrition may influence brain health and could affect public guidance on diet and supplements as people age.

    Radiation Exposure May Trigger Key Feature of Alzheimer's●Radiation Exposure May Trigger a Key Feature of Alzheimer's in The Brainβœ‰newsScience5 h ago

    New research suggests radiation exposure may trigger a key feature of Alzheimer's disease in the brain. According to ScienceAlert, the findings point to radiation potentially initiating one of the hallmark brain changes associated with the disease, adding to growing scientific interest in environmental factors that may contribute to Alzheimer's risk.

    Dog brains split speech into consonants and vowels like ours●Dogs don't just hear our words; their brains split sound into consonants and vowels just like ours, revealing a deep evoMmastodonScience41 h ago

    New research suggests dogs process human speech in a way far closer to humans than previously thought: their brains segment sounds into consonants and vowels rather than hearing words as uniform noise. The neural evidence points to an evolutionary kinship in speech processing, suggesting the capacity to break language into its smallest sound units is far older and more widespread among mammals than scientists assumed.

    Scientists map gene activity in the prefrontal cortex●Scientists map gene activity in brain's prefrontal cortexβœ‰newsScienceBiology4 h ago

    Scientists have produced a map of gene activity in the brain's prefrontal cortex, the region involved in decision-making, memory and personality. The work offers a detailed picture of which genes are switched on across cell types in this area, potentially aiding research into mental illness and neurological disease. Beyond the headline, no further details about the study, the research team or its publication are available.
