Today is when the Amazon brain drain sent AWS down the spout

Gauguin, Descartes, Bayes: A Diurnal Golem’s Brain

A healthier gut may improve mental health: Studies find gut microbes can change brain chemistry, stress responses and behaviours in animal models, with early trials of probiotics, diet changes, and faecal microbiota transplants improving mood and anxiety.

Show HN: I built a tech news aggregator that works the way my brain does

4000 gone: Inside NASA's brain drain

People who sleep poorly are more likely than others to have brains that appear older than they actually are, according to a comprehensive brain imaging study

Scientists uncovered a key brain mechanism involved in appetite and how the body knows when it’s full, by discovering how MRAP2 proteins move and organize MC4R receptors on the cell surface to control hunger signals

Scientists have achieved a “striking” reversal of Alzheimer’s disease in mice by restoring the normal function of the brain's vasculature—the network of blood vessels that supplies it with oxygen and nutrients

A single dose of psilocybin shown to rewire brain circuits in mice, providing up to two weeks of relief from both chronic pain and depression-like symptoms, offering a potential non-addictive alternative to opioids

Semiconductor neuron mimics brain's memory and adaptive response abilities

Air pollution exposure during pregnancy is associated with slower brain maturation in newborns, marking the first study to analyze brain development within the first month of life and revealing delayed myelination in infants exposed to higher levels of fine airborne particles.

New study out of Japan reveals molecular basis of Long COVID brain fog: "Systemic increase of AMPA receptors associated with cognitive impairment of long COVID" - Brain Communications

The Molecular Basis of Long Covid Brain Fog

Researchers identify key genes linked to cannabis use and its frequency, particularly CADM2 and GRM3, tied to brain communication and impulsivity

Study reveals that the brain’s social perception pathway is already active at birth or shortly thereafter, and Infants with stronger early connectivity paid greater attention to faces at four months and displayed fewer social difficulties by 18 months

A new method can help scientists “see” the proteins that may trigger Parkinson’s disease (PD) in human brain tissue for the very first time.

A high-fat, low-carb ketogenic diet may protect the brain from early Alzheimer’s disease changes in people genetically at risk, new research in mouse models of Alzheimer’s suggests, by rebalancing gut bacteria and restoring brain energy metabolism.

I brain coded a static image gallery in a few hours

Researchers uncover why mental maps fade with age: comparing young, middle-aged and old mice, the researchers found activity in the medial entorhinal cortex (“the GPS of the brain”) becomes less stable and less attuned to the environment in elderly animals

Gluten sensitivity linked to gut–brain interaction, not gluten itself

Microplastics May Trigger Alzheimer’s-Like Brain Damage

Scientists developed novel tool that can boost energy production in brain cells and reverse memory loss in mouse models of dementia

Junk food rewires the brain’s memory hub, leading to risk of cognitive dysfunction: Within just 4 days of eating high-fat diet of fatty junk food in mouse models…

A study shows that antidepressant fluoxetine does more than boost serotonin levels: it changes how brain cells manage their energy and rebuild their connections, potentially helping the brain “loosen up” and adapt during depression treatment

It's the deep visceral fat around organs that has biggest impact on brain aging, affecting reasoning, memory and processing speed
