Tiny Genetic Code Disruption Alters Brain Wiring and Behavior
https://neurosciencenews.com/genetics-behavior-synapses-29125/
A small genetic sequence called mini-exon B plays a surprisingly crucial role in how neurons form synaptic connections, according to new research. Scientists found that deleting this four–amino acid segment from a synapse-building protein, PTPδ, disrupted neural activity and led to anxiety-like behaviors in mice. …
Eye Surgery Technique Could Restore Vision in Macular Degeneration
https://neurosciencenews.com/amd-vision-surgery-21928/
Scientists have developed a novel surgical method allowing two retinal tissue grafts to be implanted in a single eye, advancing treatment strategies for dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This new approach enables side-by-side testing of grafts—one with retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells and one without—within the same lesio…

Gene Amplifies Brain Sensitivity to Light During Migraines
https://neurosciencenews.com/light-sensitivity-migraine-neat1-29114/
Researchers have identified a molecule in the brain called NEAT1 that plays a key role in light sensitivity, a common and painful symptom of migraines. NEAT1 disrupts the normal balance of nerve signaling by interfering with microRNA activity, leading to increased levels of a pain-related protein called TRPM3. …

AI Shows Higher Emotional IQ than Humans
https://neurosciencenews.com/ai-llm-emotional-iq-29119/
A new study tested whether artificial intelligence can demonstrate emotional intelligence by evaluating six generative AIs, including ChatGPT, on standard emotional intelligence (EI) assessments. The AIs achieved an average score of 82%, significantly higher than the 56% scored by human participants. …

Brain Activity Linked to Implicit Suicidal Thoughts
https://neurosciencenews.com/brain-activity-suicidal-thoughts-29121/
For the first time in Veterans, researchers have identified brain regions activated during subconscious associations between the self and suicide-related concepts using the Suicide Implicit Association Test (S-IAT). These brain areas are part of networks responsible for self-processing and identifying significant stimuli, offering potential targets for…
Rethinking Brain Drain: Emigration Fuels Global Prosperity
https://neurosciencenews.com/brain-drain-productivity-29122/
A recent study overturns the conventional idea that skilled emigration harms developing countries by showing it can actually enhance economic development and innovation. Researchers found that when people have the opportunity to migrate to higher-income countries like the U.S., it motivates greater educational investment in their home countries. …

"This topical collection aims to take a fresh look at libertarianism and, more broadly, to explore the prospects for robust notions of agency and free will under indeterminism that do not run counter to science but may even be scientifically grounded. Could there be something like scientific libertarianism? What would it entail?"
Hot off the press! 🔥In our new paper we show that concrete and abstract words engage the brain differently—and it depends on the task.
EEG shows that concreteness is a continuous feature with distinct neural signatures. #Neuroscience #EEG http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/psyp.70074
