A new study demonstrates that adherence to a Mediterranean diet significantly boosts positive psychological well-being (autonomy, purpose, and self-realization) in people over 50. The research proved this protective nutritional effect is completely independent of socioeconomic status and successfully cushioned individuals against emotional decline during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A new study introduces an affordable, soft pneumatic exoskeleton glove that restores grasping function in individuals with hand paralysis. Driven by the eXprt innovation network, the system uses machine learning to decode forearm EMG signals with 97% reliability, allowing an ALS patient to grasp objects and hold a fork for the first time in four

A new study links the tire rubber pollutant 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-Q) to Alzheimer’s disease pathways. Using machine learning and network pharmacology, the team discovered that 6PPD-Q binds to three core predictor genes in the brain, inducing oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and synaptic disruption.

Multilingualism slows brain aging along a definitive gradient. Utilizing a machine-learning “brain aging clock” driven by magnetoencephalography data, the study demonstrated that speaking two, three, or four languages correlates with brains appearing 6, 7, and 13 years younger than a participant’s chronological age, respectively.
Multilingualism Subtracts Up to 13 Years from Brain Age Read More »
The BCG vaccine remodels the human brain’s immune environment via trained immunity. Tracking older adults over one year, researchers demonstrated that BCG enhances central nervous system immune cell responsiveness and lowers amyloid-beta levels in the cerebrospinal fluid of healthy individuals, offering an early preventative pathway against Alzheimer’s disease.

The collective cultural mood surrounding a psychedelic experience shapes its psychological aftermath. Participants whose most intense trips occurred on the Fourth of July reported a long-term decrease in support for partisan violence, while those whose experiences coincided with national party conventions or election season demonstrated an increase in violent partisan support.

A new research framework that combines large language models (LLMs) with choice mathematics to evaluate human decision-making. By deploying LLMs to automatically interpret and code thousands of free-text participant thought justifications, the framework provides a scalable, validated methodology demonstrating that human reasoning strategies shift dynamically with a problem’s structure.
