A new longitudinal study reveals that specific brain wave patterns emerging around age nine can reliably predict whether a child will develop anxiety or depression during their teenage years, opening the door for proactive mental health interventions.
Scientists have created the first complete brain-to-body wiring map of a fruit fly, revealing that complex behavior may arise from distributed neural teamwork rather than a central controller. A large international research team led by labs at Harvard Medical School and Princeton University has reached a major neuroscience milestone: a complete wiring diagram of every [...]
Experts in Heidelberg have developed an AI system that can classify brain tumors with unprecedented accuracy using standard microscopic tissue sections.
Neuroscientists are discovering that spending time with others may be a basic biological necessity, like need for food or water.
Scientific Reports, Published online: 14 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41598-026-53279-9 Depression detection from multimodalities based on LeNet with hunter-geese optimization
When we fall asleep, our brains don’t just shut off; they get to work. One of their primary jobs is memory consolidation—sorting through the events of the day and filing them into long-term storage. The brain does this by spontaneously “reactivating” or replaying memories. Recent memories are consolidated during sleep by spontaneous reactivation. However, whether […]

A new study suggests that reproducing a crucial sleep-like brain pattern in awake animals may help preserve memory and learning abilities. What if part of the brain could get some of the benefits of sleep without the rest of the brain ever going offline? A new NIH-funded study suggests that may be possible. Researchers found [...]
People with depression often describe feeling stuck. Now, researchers have found a physical basis for this sensation, mapping an altered energy landscape that traps the brain in maladaptive loops and restricts cognitive flexibility.

Scientists have achieved an incredible breakthrough by recreating the brain of a fruit fly inside a computer simulation. By mapping around 140,000 neurons and millions of connections, they built a digital brain that can sense its environment, process information, and even control a virtual body. In the simulation, the digital fly was able to search […]
Whole-brain, cellular-resolution imaging reveals a hierarchical thalamus–brainstem attractor network that encodes recent history and shapes behavioural bias in zebrafish.
It offers researchers an unprecedented view of one of the most complex regions of the brain

New multimodal imaging study uncovers mechanisms that may help explain persistent depressive symptoms and inform personalized treatments
In the split second after you hear a noise, your brain is already making a potentially life-or-death deduction: Did I do that, or did something else? Our nervous systems answer this question using something called corollary discharge, a copy of a motor command that tells sensory areas what to expect from our own actions.
