Brain Quality Control Selectively Eliminates Neurons with Abnormal Variants in Development
In developing fetuses, the human brain generates an excess of neurons, most of which are eliminated around when the baby is born. New research suggests that this is an important quality-control mechanism. The post…
Improving Materials for a Technology-Based Childhood Obesity Intervention for Hispanic/Latino Families in Rural Nebraska: Mixed Methods Usability Test
Background: Childhood obesity remains a public health concern in the United States, disproportionately affecting Hispanic/Latino and rural populations. Despite this disparity, there is a lack of culturally relevant programs specifically designed to reach this…

Stigma and quality of life in hospitalized schizophrenia patient-family caregiver dyads in Northern China: an actor-partner interdependence model analysis
BackgroundSchizophrenia is a chronic and relapsing mental disorder that is consistently associated with a severely diminished quality of life (QoL) for patients. Existing research has predominantly focused on how the stigma experienced by patients with schizophrenia relates to their own…
Post-intracerebral hemorrhage depression comorbid with obstructive sleep apnea and REM sleep behavior disorder: a case report and literature review
We report a 63-year-old male with post-cerebral hemorrhage depressive disorder. Previous adequate-dose, full-course antidepressant treatment yielded no significant improvement in depression, anxiety, or sleep disturbance. Detailed history taking and polysomnography (PSG) confirmed comorbid severe obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS)…
Claude Science is Anthropic’s newest flagship product
At an event for pharmaceutical executives, biotech founders, and researchers on Tuesday, Anthropic announced Claude Science, a major new product intended to support scientific research in the same way that Claude Code supports software engineering. Like Claude Code, Claude Science…
Expedited Transition to Digital Delivery of Recovery Support Services Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic: Mixed Methods Needs Assessment
Background: Recovery support services (RSS) are an evidence-based approach to support recovery from substance use disorders, most often composed of peer-to-peer support, referrals to housing, job training, and other forms of prosocial engagement and activities. During the COVID-19 pandemic, RSS…
Knowledge Graphs Based on Meta-Analysis Papers Improve the Quality of Case Formulation: Mixed Methods Design
Background: Case formulation (CF) is a core skill for therapists; however, creating high-quality CFs requires considerable time. Objective: This study aims to demonstrate that providing a knowledge graph based on meta-analytic literature can enhance CF quality. Methods: Five groups were…
Governing Ethical Tensions in Youth Digital Mental Health Research
As mental health research increasingly aims to generate societal impact, researchers operate at the intersection of innovation and ethical responsibility. Drawing on experiences from the cocreated NEON Young Norway Study on youth recovery narratives, this viewpoint identifies four ethical tensions…

What Are Intrusive Thoughts?
When a child confesses a frightening thought that seemed to come out of nowhere — “What if I hurt someone with this knife?” “What if mom dies in a car accident?” “What if germs get into this paper cut and…
Roundtables: Longevity’s Next Frontier: “Reprogramming” Your Body
Listen to the session or watch below Billions of dollars are flooding into efforts to reverse aging as scientists explore ways to return cells to a younger state. But how far off are these experimental treatments? Will they really work?…
Use of a Conversational Agent for Training Mental Health Professionals in Suicide Safety Planning: Pilot Feasibility and Acceptability Study
Background: Safety planning is recognized as one of the most effective interventions for reducing suicidal behaviors. The quality of safety plans strongly depends on professional training, and traditional methods, such as role-playing, are time-consuming and offer limited opportunities for repetition…
The Download: AI “coworkers” and stratospheric internet
This is today’s edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what’s going on in the world of technology. AI agents are not your “coworkers” Imagine coming in to work to learn that a new…
Curvature-guided anisotropic noise injection for robust multimodal data processing in neuroscience and perception science
IntroductionLarge-batch training is widely used to scale multimodal neural networks that integrate heterogeneous inputs such as visual, textual, and physiological signals. However, increasing the batch size suppresses the stochastic fluctuations of mini-batch sampling, which can trap multimodal models in sharp,…
SMILE: neural signal acquisition and intra-body transmission for facial nerve bypass—An acute feasibility study and proof-of-concept in a rat model
Facial paralysis is a disabling condition with severe functional and aesthetic consequences. Facial paralysis affects approximately 1.8% of individuals over their lifetime, with approximately 30% of affected patients developing persistent deficits; among these, patients with permanent flaccid paralysis and severe…
PANoptosis in neurological disorders: from inflammatory cell death mechanisms to neuroprotective strategies
PANoptosis is now regarded as an inflammatory form of programmed cell death (PCD). It reflects the coordinated involvement of apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis, usually through the PANoptosome in a shared pathological environment. This concept may be especially useful in neurological…
