A new study utilizes Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia (RSA) monitoring to provide rare biological evidence of parent-child “co-regulation.” While less-harsh mothers naturally exit the regulatory driver’s seat as their preschoolers age into independent self-regulation, aggressive parenting upends this evolutionary pipeline.

A new study establishes a direct causal link between IgLON5 antibodies and Tau pathology. By applying patient antibodies to mouse models, the team discovered that antibody-induced clustering of cell-surface IgLON5 proteins sparks profound neuronal hyperactivity.

We often assume that a higher IQ leads to better social outcomes, like being more trusting and cooperative. But new research suggests that your childhood environment might be the “volume knob” for that advantage.

Researchers mapped the organizational “rules” of the visual cortex, revealing that synaptic inputs are meticulously arranged by distance, local clustering, and stimulus selectivity. By imaging the “glow” of individual synapses in mice, researchers discovered that visually responsive neurons use specialized dendritic structures to sharpen their focus, providing a vital baseline for understanding how genetic mutations

Researchers have created transparent, flexible contact lenses that treat depression using “temporal interference” electrical stimulation. In a landmark study, the lenses restored brain connectivity and boosted serotonin by 47%, matching the performance of leading antidepressants.

Researchers have discovered a “U-shaped” link between sleep and the biological clocks of 17 different organ systems. Sleeping fewer than 6 hours or more than 8 hours accelerates the aging of your heart, lungs, and immune system. By analyzing data from half a million people, the study identifies a “longevity window” of 6.4 to 7.8
