A new study shows that the use of psilocybin, a compound found in the widely known "magic mushrooms," initiates a pattern of hyperconnectivity in the brain linked to the ego-modifying effects and feelings of oceanic boundlessness.

A new analysis has revealed detailed information about genetic variation in brain cells that could open new avenues for the targeted treatment of diseases such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease.

A study by University of Houston sleep expert and psychology professor Candice Alfano has found that weighted blankets, between 5 and 10 pounds, do not improve sleep for children who have experienced various types of maltreatment including abuse or neglect.

Collagen, a major component of the extracellular matrix, plays a crucial role in tumor development.

Scientists have known for years that a lattice of blood vessels nourishes cells in the retina that allow us to see – but it's been a mystery how the intricate structure is created.

Integration of pharmacies with physician practices, where on-site pharmacies open at physician practice locations, is a growing trend in cancer treatment.

A new treatment approach using an older drug may enable more patients with high-risk blood cancers to receive transplanted stem cells from unrelated, partially matched donors, according to a study conducted by researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and colleagues.

Researchers reviewed the benefits, practicalities, and harms of masks and masking, finding that masks are effective in reducing respiratory disease transmission despite some adverse effects, and emphasized the need for improved public understanding and policies.

Inadequate access to simple elective surgery in developing countries is storing up future health problems for patients and may create a spiral of future health complications putting more people's lives at risk, a new study reveals.

A groundbreaking study led by UCLA Health has unveiled the most detailed view of the complex biological mechanisms underlying autism, showing the first link between genetic risk of the disorder to observed cellular and genetic activity across different layers of the brain.

New research by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute investigators has encouraging news for young women who have survived breast cancer and want to have children.

Researchers developed Prov-GigaPath, a whole-slide pathology foundation model using a novel vision transformer architecture. The model demonstrates superior performance in mutation prediction, cancer subtyping, and vision-language tasks. It leverages large-scale real-world data from over 30,000 patients to enhance clinical diagnostics.

Research suggests the ketogenic diet may offer benefits in managing anxiety, depression, stress, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder, but more clinical trials are needed to confirm its efficacy.

Researchers found that prenatal exposure to maternal language influences neonatal neural encoding of speech sounds, with bilingual exposure enhancing sensitivity to a broader range of frequencies. This suggests early linguistic environments shape auditory processing capabilities from birth.

Research reveals that preconception exposure to PFAS in male mice alters sperm methylation and affects gene expression in the liver and fat of their offspring.

Research paper reviews the cardiovascular benefits of phenolic compounds in cherries and berries, highlighting their potential to reduce inflammation, oxidative stress, and improve lipid profiles. Regular consumption of these fruits can significantly lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Increasing the intake of flavonoid-rich foods significantly reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to a study in Nutrition & Diabetes.

A study in Psychiatry Research reveals that maternal cannabis use disorder significantly increases the risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in offspring. The risk is 3.5 times higher for children exposed to cannabis during the prenatal period.

Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a cost-efficient technique for the management of thyroid nodules. Changes in the World Health Organization classification of thyroid tumors can influence reliability of cytology.
