Researchers have developed a non-invasive MRI method to measure the brain’s self-cleansing process. The study reveals that during sleep, vascular pulsations take control of brain dynamics to accelerate waste removal.

Researchers designed a “mirror-image” protein that disables amyloid-beta, the primary cause of Alzheimer’s plaques. By exploiting molecular chirality, the team created a “right-handed” interceptor that prevents toxic proteins from clumping.

Researchers discovered a brain pathway linking stress centers directly to habit regions. While stress normally promotes flexibility, alcohol disrupts this circuit, explaining why stress leads to compulsive drinking and relapse.

A new study reveals that genetics explain up to 98% of the correlation between IQ and socioeconomic status. Researchers found that while upbringing matters, innate intelligence—driven largely by heredity—is the primary predictor of adult success.
High IQ and High Status Share the Same Genes Read More »
A new study suggests that human grammar evolved as a stage for “wit.” Ancient verb-noun compounds like “pickpocket” trigger visceral brain responses, suggesting that being funny was a key evolutionary advantage.
