The human brain ages less than thought and in layers—at least in the area of the cerebral cortex responsible for the sense of touch. Researchers at DZNE, the University of Magdeburg, and the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research at the University of Tübingen came to this conclusion based on brain scans of young and older adults in addition to studies in mice.
Research by sports scientists reveals that high-performance athletes face unique mental health challenges despite the well-established benefits of physical activity for depression prevention and treatment.
Artificial intelligence (AI) can help emergency department (ED) teams better anticipate which patients will need hospital admission, hours earlier than is currently possible, according to a multi-hospital study by the Mount Sinai Health System.
Approximately 70% of incarcerated youth in the United States have a mental disorder. The challenges in this population are profound—about 30% report suicidal thoughts, 12% have attempted suicide and 25% experience solitary confinement, a condition strongly associated with increased suicide risk. Depression is also widespread, affecting 10% to 25% of youth with moderate to severe symptoms.
Among the many wonders of the brain is its ability to master learned movements—a dance step, piano sonata, or tying our shoes—acquired through trial-and-error practice. For decades, neuroscientists have known that these tasks require a cluster of brain areas known as the basal ganglia.
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered a new pathway by which cells counteract the action of alovudine, an important antiviral and anticancer drug. The paper is published in the journal Nucleic Acids Research.
Large language models (LLMs), used by more than half of England's local authorities to support social workers, may be introducing gender bias into care decisions, according to new research from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).
What infectious disease is deadliest worldwide? HIV? COVID-19? Malaria?
A research team led by Virginia Commonwealth University has gained new insights into the molecular mechanisms that cause cocaine use disorder, identifying a potential therapeutic strategy to inhibit the drug's addictive effect.
Many people are familiar with the saying that a woman is "eating for two" during pregnancy. Although this is an exaggeration, nutritional needs do certainly increase during pregnancy to support the growing baby.
The world's largest conditional cash transfer program, the Bolsa Família Program (BFP), is associated with a substantial reduction in AIDS cases and deaths, especially among brown and black women with lower income and limited education.
Prediabetes, when blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough to be considered diabetes, is more life-threatening in people aged 20–54 than it is in older populations, according to a paper published Aug. 7 in JAMA Network Open.
11 August 2025, Manama, Bahrain – World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean Dr Hanan Balkhy has completed her first official visit – from 4 to 6 August 2025 – to the Kingdom of Bahrain. The visit reaffirmed the longstanding strategic partnership between WHO and the Government of Bahrain, highlighted Bahrain’s progress in advancing national and regional health priorities and set out a clear roadmap for enhanced cooperation in the years ahead. Dr Balkhy met with national health leaders, including Chairman of the Supreme Council for Health Lieutenant General Dr Sheikh Mohamed bin Abdullah Al-Khalifa and Minister of Health Dr Jaleela bint Al-Sayed Jawad Hassan. They reviewed Bahrain’s health sector achievements and identified specific areas for future collaboration, with a focus on the 3 regional flagship initiatives. Dr Balkhy held discussions with Commander of the Royal Medical Services Brigadier General Dr Shaikh Fahad bin Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa on national initiatives to strengthen the health workforce, and with members of the national health working groups on multisectoral strategies to address communicable and noncommunicable diseases. Continuous strengthening of primary health care, investment in a skilled and future-ready health workforce and the integration of innovation and technology into all levels of service delivery are central to Bahrain’s National Health Plan (2016–2025). Dr Balkhy’s site visits illustrated these priorities in action. At the Shaikh Abdulla bin Khalid Al Khalifa Health Centre Dr Balkhy observed Bahrain’s integrated, people-centred health service, recognizing it as a regional model for strengthening primary Read more...
Fentanyl and other high-potency synthetic opioids (HPSOs) are the leading cause of opioid overdose deaths in the United States. These substances have changed the way that hospitals start medication to treat opioid use disorder (OUD), but no standards exist.
Starting in your brainstem and meandering down your body, two branches of an information highway connect to your chest, heart, lungs, abdomen and intestines. These conduits, called the vagus nerves, pass signals back and forth between your brain and other organs, helping control heart rate, digestion and more.
A multi-center study has identified critical risk factors that increase the likelihood of death in children with a heart defect who are awaiting or have recently undergone heart transplantation, according to findings published in Circulation.
To map the mammalian brain and its various functions with increasing precision, neuroscientists rely on high-resolution imaging techniques and other advanced experimental tools. These include high-density silicon probes, needle-like devices integrating several electrodes that can be inserted into brain tissue to pick up voltage changes associated with the firing of neurons.
The wildfire smoke that has blanketed the state this month could take a toll on the health of Michiganians long after clearing.
Researchers from the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), part of City of Hope, and the Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center have identified a potential biomarker for long COVID.
