Is the oxytocin system a keystone in human wellbeing?
It has also taken over a century for science to fully realize that oxytocin is far more than a “female reproductive hormone.” Both the measurement and interpretation of the biochemical and functional properties of…
Asymmetric encoder-decoder U-net with hybrid attention and residual dilated convolution for brain tumor segmentation
InroductionThe accurate and automatic segmentation of brain tumors from magnetic resonance imaging is regarded as essential for clinical diagnosis and surgical planning. Nevertheless, the concurrent extraction of both local fine details and global contextual…

Source-resolved electroencephalogram microstates reveal opposing prefrontal-posterior dynamics and a candidate temporal-to-precuneus pathway in disorders of consciousness
IntroductionObjective and circuit-level biomarkers of consciousness are urgently needed for disorders of consciousness.MethodsWe recorded high-density electroencephalography from 33 patients with disorders of consciousness (17 vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome, 16 minimally conscious state) and 19 healthy controls during rest and auditory…
Effects of auditory sensory stimulation on consciousness and physiological parameters among individuals with disorders of consciousness: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the effects of auditory sensory stimulation (SS) on consciousness levels and physiological parameters in patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC). Furthermore, this study aimed to explore intervention characteristics based on the frequency, intensity, time, and type (FITT)…
Nogo-related frontal theta-band activity after magnetic seizure therapy in treatment-resistant depression: an exploratory task-based EEG study
IntroductionMagnetic seizure therapy (MST) is an emerging convulsive treatment for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) with efficacy comparable to electroconvulsive therapy and superior cognitive safety. However, its neurophysiological mechanisms—particularly those underlying conflict monitoring and response inhibition—remain unclear. Frontal midline theta-band activity indexes…
Impulsivity is the principal correlate of problematic internet use in young adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: a cross-sectional clinical study
IntroductionAttention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and problematic internet use share clinical features such as impulsivity, emotional dysregulation and impaired inhibitory control, but most evidence comes from children, adolescents and non-clinical samples. It remains unclear which dimension carries this association in adults with…
Dance- and movement-based interventions for autism spectrum disorder: a systematic review and exploratory meta-analysis
ObjectivesAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous neurodevelopmental condition characterized by difficulties in social communication, restricted and repetitive behaviors, and impaired adaptive functioning. Although behavioral and developmental interventions remain central to ASD management, the effects of dance- and movement-based interventions…
Latent profiles of day-7 cognitive performance and associated ecological factors in older adults after elective surgery: an observational study
ObjectiveTo identify latent profiles of postoperative day-7 cognitive performance among older adults after elective surgery and to explore demographic, behavioral, clinical, and social factors associated with profile membership.MethodsThis prospective observational study included 308 consecutively recruited patients aged ≥65 years who…
Trajectories of perinatal depression, anxiety, perceived stress, sleep quality, and psychological flexibility from pregnancy to six months postpartum and their relationship with the number of abortions and deliveries
BackgroundPerinatal psychological distress is common and longitudinally heterogeneous, yet little is known about how obstetric history shapes symptom trajectories. We identified trajectories of depressive symptoms, perceived stress, sleep quality, psychological flexibility, and anxiety from early pregnancy to 24 weeks postpartum…

Serotonin signaling enhances phagocytosis by brain macrophages through Htr2b and alleviates brain injury after stroke
Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 28 October 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02482-yThe serotonin receptor Htr2b activation enhances lysosome biogenesis and phagocytic clearance of debris to mitigate neuroinflammation and brain injury after stroke. The study proposes a potential monocyte-derived macrophage-targeted immune therapy to improve neurological…
