A free, self-paced online program developed by CU Boulder and Mass General researchers reduces postpartum depression relapse by 26%. The nationwide trial of 500 expectant mothers in Lancet Public Health provides a proven digital alternative to medication for preventing maternal mental health crises.

Astrocytes are not a uniform support crew. A breakthrough study in Nature reveals that CD51-positive astrocyte subtypes specialize in building synapses via glypican 6, tuning hippocampal memory circuits, and repairing damaged connections after a stroke.

Angelman syndrome stems from a missing maternal UBE3A gene, but how it disrupts brain growth has remained unclear. Researchers at WashU Medicine discovered that accumulating asparagine synthetase tricks neurons into a perpetual emergency stress state, halting development. Blocking the enzyme restored normal brain growth in mice.

Generative AI can create masterpieces in seconds, but a new analysis reveals it breaks the crucial link between making art and personal growth. Hebrew University’s Amit Zoran argues that the future of creativity belongs to human discovery and perspective rather than automated digital output. Read more at Cerebratech
