Meta AI introduces TRIBE, a transformative foundation model that predicts human brain responses to vision and audition. By leveraging “in-silico” simulations, TRIBE offers a 70-fold increase in resolution, enabling researchers to decode neural patterns across different languages and individuals without new scans.

A new study finds that AI chatbots are “sycophants” that affirm users 49% more than humans do. This constant flattery makes users more certain of their own biases and less likely to repair real-world relationships.

High-intensity therapy in the first two weeks after a stroke does not improve hand recovery more than standard care. Natural biological repair seems to dominate the early phase of healing.

A new study argues that attention impairment, not memory loss, should be the central focus for early dementia diagnosis. The research highlights how “attentional overload” impacts daily life and suggests new ways to improve care.
Attention Failures May Predict Dementia Better Than Memory Read More »
A new meta-analysis reveals no link between hormonal contraception and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). The findings offer reassurance to women using birth control, as the study found no increased risk across pills, IUDs, or implants.

Researchers have shown that the primary visual cortex (V1) computes statistical summaries of complex motion, such as mean and variance. This “ensemble perception” starts early in the visual hierarchy, allowing the brain to rapidly grasp the gist of a scene.

A massive study of 700,000 people shows that ADHD medication in childhood does not increase the risk of psychosis. In fact, starting treatment before age 13 may help protect against schizophrenia in adulthood.

Researchers have discovered the molecular pathway connecting the gut immune system to the brain. By mapping how tuft cells signal the vagus nerve, the study explains why parasitic infections and gut issues cause a lingering loss of appetite.

Scientists have mapped the atomic movement of TRPM8, the protein that senses cold and menthol. This “molecular movie” reveals how lipids lock the protein open, providing a new target for treating cold-induced pain.
