Either a workout or nap can help your sleep-deprived brain: People who either completed 20 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise or took a 90-minute nap performed about 22% better on memory tests after 30 hours without sleep than those who did neither.

Researchers have shed new light on how the human brain coordinates working memory: high-frequency brain waves, known as ripples, may help distant brain regions synchronize with one another during working memory tasks

Wireless biocompatible magnetic microparticles can remotely stimulate the vagus nerve to control heart and breathing rates in mice, offering a safer alternative to brain electrodes for treating neurological disorders.

Study on social media algorithms found young adults (~20Y) with more depressive symptoms receive recommendations that lean more depressive, and their EEG brain activity shows patterns characteristic of depression, suggesting personalized feeds may reinforce a negative feedback loop

Depression is linked to a smaller volume in a memory-related hippocampal region, according to brain scans of 2,009 cognitively healthy adults aged 50–90, independent of body mass index, physical activity, and several major biological indicators of Alzheimer's disease risk.

Research suggests primate brains didn't get big for thinking, they got big for seeing: across 56 million years of fossil skulls, the frontal lobe is the same fraction of the brain in humans as in tree shrews, while vision-processing regions grew along with the optic nerve.

Unexpected structure detected in the brains of humans and mice with Alzheimer’s disease - scientists pinpointed an entirely new pathological basis for the disease: an accumulation of mitochondrial plaques, due to the brain's inability to recycle its failing mitochondria.

Researchers have developed a miniature microscope that allows scientists to observe and activate individual brain cells during natural movement, an advance that could accelerate research into how the brain controls behavior while deepening understanding of neurological diseases.
