Can everyday dietary lecithin defend against memory loss? A study of 1,917 older adults combining MoCA assessments with targeted lipidomics reveals that lecithin and polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine are linked to lower rates of mild cognitive impairment, particularly in adults with lower education.​  Read more at Cerebratech ​  Read more at Cerebratech ​ 

How can scientists determine cause and effect when experiments are impossible? A new framework published in The Innovation uses delay embedding entropy to infer intervention-level causality directly from observational data, eliminating hidden confounders in neural circuits and complex systems.​

Can blood platelets track Parkinson’s disease progression? Research from the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP) demonstrates that platelets reflect neurodegenerative shifts—from mitochondrial breakdown to dementia onset—better than whole blood.​ 

Why do premature infants face motor and language delays even without brain injuries? A landmark Science study led by Children’s National reveals that developing outside the womb rewires the molecular programs of cerebellar Purkinje and granule cells, overturning the classic “catch-up” theory.​

How can drugs bypass the brain’s tightest security checkpoint? Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland discovered that hijacking the sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter (SMVT) allows creatine derivatives to cross the blood-brain barrier, offering hope for rare deficiency syndromes.​ 

Can industrial water runoff trigger atypical parkinsonism? A 25-year study of 500,000 adults published in Neurology shows that living near facilities emitting pesticides, heavy metals, and organic pollutants is linked to a higher risk of progressive supranuclear palsy.​ 

Do fact-checking badges stop bad information from swaying our minds? Cognitive psychology experiments reveal that even when a source is labeled as a 50% coin-flip, it still biases human choices, despite users knowing better.​ 

Why do women generally prefer the thermostat set higher than men? Researchers at King’s College London discovered that two thermosensitive ion channels, TRPM2 and TRPM8, are molecularly tuned to activate at warmer temperatures in females, resolving a long-standing biological debate.​
