A new study suggests that human infant helplessness is a unique evolutionary trait that drives social collaboration. By being sensory-rich but motor-poor, human babies are “designed” to trigger the deep social bonds and care systems that make us human.

A study of over one million fathers shows that paternal depression and stress-related disorders spike by 30% one year after childbirth. Researchers urge healthcare providers to monitor fathers’ mental health long after the immediate postnatal period.

Mild hypoxia in preterm babies impairs memory by altering protein channels in the hippocampus. Researchers successfully reversed these deficits in adult models, identifying a potential target for treating long-term cognitive issues.

Aging and Parkinson’s force the brain to use excessive energy for balance, leading to poorer recovery. This neural “overdrive” and muscle stiffening could serve as early warning signs for high-risk fallers.
