Salt-Nicotine E-Cigarettes Triple Smoking Cessation Odds
Summary: A randomized, placebo-controlled trial reveals that switching to pod-based salt-nicotine electronic cigarettes significantly boosts the odds of quitting traditional smoking while dramatically reducing exposure to harmful, tobacco-related toxins. The…
Brain Switch for Recent Memory Retrieval Identified
Summary: A new study has identified the world’s first “neural switch” responsible for selectively retrieving recent memories over past ones. The researchers discovered a specific neural circuit connecting the medial…
Combining Cannabis and Tobacco Triples Psychosis Risk
Summary: A multi-site study reveals that combining cannabis and tobacco, a trend known as “co-use”, significantly increases the long-term risk of developing full psychotic disorders like schizophrenia. The study tracked…
Novel Antibody Repairs Acute Spinal Cord Lesions
Summary: A multinational clinical trial demonstrated that a novel antibody, NG101, successfully preserves existing nerve tissue and accelerates the regression of spinal cord lesions following acute injury. The antibody operates…
Harsh Parenting Biologically Distorts Child Stress Regulation
Summary: A new study provides biological proof for how aggressive parenting alters a child’s ability to handle stress. Investigating the theory of “co-regulation”, where a parent’s calm physiological state helps…
Single Psilocybin Dose Sparks Rapid Depression Remission
Summary: A Phase 2 randomized clinical trial demonstrates that a single 25 mg dose of psilocybin, combined with psychotherapeutic support, provides rapid, statistically significant, and clinically meaningful reduction in symptoms…
Genetic Pathways Link Cannabis Use to Psychosis Risk
Summary: New research provides a breakthrough in understanding the biological mechanisms linking Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) and psychosis. By conducting a large-scale genetic meta-analysis, researchers identified over 500 genetic loci…
Reducing Visceral Fat Protects the Brain for Decades
Summary: A new longitudinal study reveals that the accumulation of visceral fat, the “hidden” fat stored deep within the abdominal cavity, is a primary driver of brain atrophy and cognitive…
