Scientists looking to tackle our ongoing obesity crisis have made an important discovery: Intermittent calorie restriction leads to significant changes both in the gut and the brain, which may open up new options for maintaining a healthy weight.

A new study reveals that dopamine release along a specific brain circuit helps extinguish fear by activating reward-related neurons in the amygdala.

Evidence-Based Dentistry - Antimicrobial resistance genes in the oral microbiome

University scientists converted everyday waste into sorbents that produce nearly four gallons of water daily with minimal energy.

Close to 12,000 valid secrets that include API keys and passwords have been found in the Common Crawl dataset used for training multiple artificial intelligence models.

A new look at an ancient eruption at Campi Flegrei raises new questions about the propensity of the still-active volcano, located near Naples, to produce major eruptions in the future.

Protons are far from simple particles — they are swirling cauldrons of quarks, gluons, and quantum entanglement. Scientists have used this entanglement to develop a universal model explaining how particles emerge from high-energy collisions. Their predictions align with past experimental data, an

Scientists observe decreased motor function in rodents exposed to microplastics

The latent circuit model identifies low-dimensional mechanisms of task execution from heterogenous neural responses. This approach reveals a latent inhibitory mechanism for context-dependent decisions in neural network models and the prefrontal cortex.

Dementia is a syndrome associated with an ongoing decline of the brain - and there are a number of early signs to look out for, including a peculiar fridge habit

Researchers at Stony Brook University used genetic manipulation in a laboratory brain model to demonstrate that neurosteroids, signals involved in mood regulation and stress, can reduce the sensitivity and preference for sweet tastes when elevated within the gustatory cortex—a region in the brain most involved with taste. Their findings are published in Current Biology.

New research provides direct evidence that the gut microbiome communicates with the brain through the vagus nerve.

OpenAI’s CEO claims the company has yet to receive an official offer from Elon Musk’s team, sources say.

A new study shows that the cerebral cortex acts as a "memory machine," constantly detecting novel stimuli to refine its predictions of the future.

U.S. District Judge John D. Bates granted a restraining order temporarily reversing the Trump administration’s moves to remove scientific data.

Vice President JD Vance said the U.S. will safeguard American artificial intelligence and chips and block efforts to "weaponize" the critical technologies.

A new study found that the proportion of people being diagnosed with lung cancer who have never smoked is increasing, and air pollution may be a leading cause.

A study links life-changing religious experiences, like being “born again,” with atrophy in the hippocampus

Scientists suggest meat consumption was pivotal to humans' development of larger brains, but the transition probably didn't start with Australopithecus, according to a new study
