AI-designed protein shows up to 53% stronger anti-inflammatory effects in animal studies, outperforming existing treatments by restoring brain signaling and highlighting how artificial intelligence and supercomputing could accelerate the development of next-generation anti-inflammatory therapies.

Consuming 30% fewer calories than usual for more than 20 years can slow down signs of aging in the brain, according to a study initiated in 1980 on primates

A new study shows psilocybin reshapes brain circuits linked to depression by weakening rigid cortico-cortical loops that trap people in negative thinking and strengthening sensory-motor pathways that help restore cognitive flexibility.

For the first time, MIT chemists have successfully synthesized verticillin A, a rare fungal molecule discovered over 50 years ago and long viewed as a promising anticancer agent — particularly for treating aggressive brain tumors.

A new study suggests that air pollution alters the structure of the adolescent brain, affecting frontal and temporal regions critical to decision-making, language, emotional regulation, and social behavior—even at pollution levels deemed “safe” by the Environmental Protection Agency.
