New imaging research links higher plasma vitamin C levels to greater grey matter volume and stronger brain network connectivity.

New research links traumatic brain injury to higher brain cancer death risk, with gunshot-wound and mild injuries carrying the greatest danger.

Employment rates remain low for people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in Spain, despite slight rises in recorded employment from 2018–2023.

Intermittent fasting reduced stress-related depression-like behaviours and preserved myelin integrity in mice, potentially through changes in the gut microbiota.

Frequent remote cognitive assessments detected subtle cognitive decline in people with early Alzheimer’s disease within just 30 weeks.

Mentalising brain signatures show distinct neural patterns for self and other thinking from adolescence onward and are altered in schizophrenia, suggesting potential neuromarkers for social cognition in health and disease.

New research mapped the brain’s hidden clearance network, revealing how neuronal proteins exit the brain and how disease can disrupt these pathways.

Brain imaging combined with machine learning predicted ketamine response in patients with treatment-resistant depression, supporting more personalised care.
