Brain scans reveal neural connectivity deficits in Long COVID and ME/CFS
Brain scans reveal neural connectivity deficits in Long COVID and ME/CFS
A new study using 7 Tesla MRI technology reveals that patients with chronic fatigue conditions suffer from disrupted brain connectivity. Unlike healthy brains, these patients struggle to integrate neural networks when mentally fatigued.

Genetic testing might help doctors avoid antidepressants with negative interactions
Genetic testing might help doctors avoid antidepressants with negative interactions
A large clinical trial conducted by the Department of Veterans Affairs suggests that analyzing a patient’s DNA can help providers choose antidepressants that are safer and more effective, leading to faster symptom relief.

Restoring a specific protein could rewire the brain in Down syndrome
Restoring a specific protein could rewire the brain in Down syndrome
Down syndrome alters how neurons connect. New research shows that delivering a specific protein to star-shaped brain cells called astrocytes can reverse these structural changes in mice, restoring normal electrical activity to critical brain areas.

Trigger sounds impair speech perception for people with misophonia
A new study finds that while people with misophonia have normal hearing, the presence of a triggering sound—like a buzzing fly—reduces their ability to understand speech in noisy environments.

Psychopathic traits linked to distinct brain networks in new neuroscience research
Psychopathic traits linked to distinct brain networks in new neuroscience research
Researchers used structural brain imaging to explore how psychopathy is linked to externalizing behaviors. The study found that variations in brain connectivity—especially in emotion and attention networks—may help explain why some individuals with psychopathic traits engage in antisocial behavior.

Is mental health 'awareness' backfiring?

theneuroscienceofeve...

Data suggests that #mentalhealth stigma is actually on the rise. Are more awareness campaigns needed, or are they part of the problem?

My latest post offers multiple possible explanations.

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek2025
Is mental health 'awareness' backfiring? It's mental health awareness week, again. But the latest data shows that mental health stigma is increasing, not decreasing. What's going on there? And has mental health awareness gone 'too far'?
