Intellectual-cultural orientation of family environment and adolescent depressive symptoms: the mediating role of game addiction
IntroductionExisting data indicate that an increasing number of adolescents are becoming addicted to online games, while the prevalence of depressive symptoms within this demographic is also on the rise. Depression is a primary comorbidity associated with game addiction, but the…

A neural signature to predict attention shifting delays in children and adults
Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 08 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02295-zMoment-to-moment lapses in attention shifting impair behavior and learning. These lapses are common in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders involving attention deficits. We identify a neural signature that predicts delayed performance on a set-shifting…

STAT+: AstraZeneca’s GLP-1 pill shows promise in obesity, diabetes trials
AstraZeneca’s GLP-1 pill showed promise in mid-stage obesity and diabetes studies, but it may still be too early to determine how it stacks up against other oral treatments.
GLP-1 Drugs Linked to Lower Rates of Substance Use Disorders
The study adds to a growing body of evidence indicating that GLP-1 medications may have an influence on dopamine signaling and other neural pathways that drive cravings not just for food but other substances. The post GLP-1 Drugs Linked to…
TARGA Imager Enables High-Resolution Imaging of Neurodevelopmental Models
Neurodevelopment in schizophrenia poses major challenges for experimental study due at least in part to the brain’s genetic complexity, cellular diversity, and limitations in accessing living human tissue. The post TARGA Imager Enables High-Resolution Imaging of Neurodevelopmental Models appeared first…
360° Video-Based Virtual Reality for Preparing Medical Students for Body Donor Dissection: Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Body donor dissection is fundamental to medical education but often induces anxiety and emotional distress in students, potentially impacting learning outcomes and well-being. Traditional preparation methods emphasize technical and procedural elements while inadequately addressing students’ emotional challenges. Recent advances…
STAT+: UnitedHealthcare’s lactation billing feud, and fake strokes
The biggest U.S. health insurer is changing how it pays for lactation counseling, and it could cut payment for many providers.

Lilly disclosed new data that provide more details on the safety and tolerability of its next-generation obesity drug retatrutide
Divergent dFC stability of DMN and SMN in narcolepsy
Narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) is characterized by profound sleep-wake state instability, pointing to a fundamental dysregulation of large-scale brain network dynamics. To elucidate this, we assessed whole-brain dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) stability using resting-state fMRI in 27 patients with NT1…
Gut microbiome dynamics in autism: a prospective nested case–control study demonstrates microbial-clinical associations following rehabilitation interventions
BackgroundChildren with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) commonly exhibit gut microbiota dysbiosis and metabolic abnormalities, yet the mechanisms linking these changes to clinical symptoms remain unclear.ObjectiveThis study employed a nested case–control design and multi-omics approaches to evaluate the effects of rehabilitation…
Postnatal maternal mental health-related hospitalisation and its association with adverse child health and maltreatment outcomes: narrative review
BackgroundMaternal mental health conditions within the postnatal period can have long-lasting consequences on a child’s well-being. This study synthesises current evidence on the association between postnatal maternal mental health-related hospitalisation (MHrH) and adverse child health and maltreatment outcomes.MethodsWe conducted an…
Disruption of a GalR2–mitochondrial axis in the ventral hippocampus contributes to depression-like phenotypes after prenatal stress
BackgroundPrenatal stress (PS) is a major risk factor for depression later in life, yet the cellular mechanisms linking early-life adversity to long-term affective vulnerability remain incompletely understood. Neuropeptide receptors have emerged as important modulators of stress-related psychopathology, but their roles…
Integrative mechanisms and intervention targets of the microbiota–gut–brain axis in depressive disorders: advances across immune, endocrine, and central nervous system pathways
Depressive disorders are highly heterogeneous syndromes characterized not only by depressed mood but also by cognitive impairment, sleep–circadian rhythm disturbances, altered appetite, somatic discomfort, and metabolic or gastrointestinal comorbidities. In recent years, the microbiota–gut–brain axis (MGBA) has been increasingly recognized…
