Mother-to-infant bonding difficulties (MIBD) are commonly associated with postnatal depression. MIBD has been linked to developmental delays and child abuse. Researchers found that about half of MIBD cases in Japan involve mothers who did not experience postpartum depression. Dif

Scientists have discovered a rare genetic condition that causes people to age at a much faster rate, offering fresh insights into the aging process. The study shows for the first time how a "biological clock" present in every cell of the body could contribute to age-related disea

Exposure to extreme heat and cold is associated with an increased risk of emergency department (ED) visits among people living with dementia, according to preliminary research presented at the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) Congress 2026. The findings provide new evidence th

When we drink alcohol, our liver breaks it down into acetate, which the body can then burn as fuel. A new Neuropsychopharmacology study has discovered that chronic alcohol use can alter how the brain metabolizes acetate—and that these effects are reversible.

A sweeping global review led by researchers at the University of British Columbia has found that mRNA vaccines—now administered billions of times worldwide—are safe and highly effective at preventing infectious diseases like COVID-19, and have potential applications for a range o

A toddler's activity levels are influenced by genetic differences, with some of the same genetic markers also linked to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to new research from the University of Surrey. In the first study of its kind, an international team

When mothers were slower to vocally respond to their 1-year-old children's vocalizations, the children were more likely to have been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder by age 7, according to a study published in PLOS One by Bethany Stanley of the University of Glasgow in the U

An interdisciplinary team at Jena University Hospital achieved a surprisingly rapid and significant improvement in two patients with an autoimmune peripheral nervous system disorder. The team administered teclistamab, a drug originally developed for multiple myeloma, and reported

Researchers from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago identified a distinct subtype of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE)—a chronic allergic inflammatory disorder in which the esophagus narrows, interfering with food passing properly. They found that 25% of children w

A new study published in Nature Communications identifies a molecular signaling pathway that contributes to the development of life-threatening aortic aneurysms and dissections in Marfan syndrome, a genetic disorder affecting connective tissue. The findings provide new insight in

A new study finds public specialized gambling addiction treatment services are underused in Quebec, pointing to a need to better reach people with a gambling disorder. Researchers at McGill University and the Douglas Research Center followed more than 2,300 people with a gambling

A molecule linked to chronic inflammation disrupts the brain's ability to create new neurons, uncovering a pathway with therapeutic potential for neurodegenerative diseases and neurological conditions. The King's College London study, published in Nature Communications, offers in
