Sudden drop in fentanyl overdose deaths linked to Biden-era global supply shock. Study indicates that regulatory actions taken by the Chinese government, following high-level diplomatic engagement with the Biden administration, may be the primary driver behind this unexpected decline in mortality.
People who stop taking weight-loss injections like Ozempic regain weight in under 2 years, study reveals. Analysis finds those who stopped using medication saw weight return 4 times faster compared with other weight loss plans.
Using the same math employed by string theorists, network scientists discover that surface optimization governs the brain’s architecture — not length minimization.
ADHD risk may not be fixed at birth, but shaped by early environments: For children with parents who have elevated ADHD symptoms, a rich and supportive home environment predicted better cognitive functioning and linked to fewer ADHD symptoms in later childhood and adolescence.
Exercise can have a moderate benefit in reducing depressive symptoms, comparable to therapy and antidepressants, according to a meta analysis of randomized controlled trials including nearly 5,000 adults with depression
A new study finds a dog's carbon footprint can exceed their owner's, largely due to the high meat content in wet food. Wet diets generate seven times more emissions than dry kibble. Since meat is carbon-intensive, researchers suggest switching to dry food significantly aids climate efforts.
Researchers found a method to reprogram macrophages inside solid tumors—the deadliest and most resistant cancers—using mRNA. By delivering genetic instructions directly to the tumor, the therapy cleared cancer in mouse models, potentially unlocking a pathway for patients with few options.
Autism-related traits are associated with faster autonomic processing, as measured through pupillary light reflex (PLR) dynamics in infancy, and are also linked to epigenome-wide DNA methylation patterns
Autism shows elevated brain glutamine on 7T MRS, consistent with presumably increased glutamine–glutamate cycling, indicating greater glutamate turnover and recycling demand in adults
“Sam apologized to Alex, so he felt better” — many readers will understand “he” as Sam (the earlier referent). The paper reports that in its ambiguity task, conclusive connectives like “so/therefore” were more often associated with choosing that earlier referent.
