TITLE: Ozempic does something unexpected to the brain’s hunger neurons

URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/08/260820002436.htm

Ozempic may work in the brain in almost the opposite way scientists expected, activating hunger-linked neurons that appear essential for sustaining fat loss. The surprising discovery in mice could reveal new targets for developing even more effective obesity drugs.

TITLE: Schizophrenia’s lost brain connections follow a surprising pattern

URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/08/260820002443.htm

Specialized brain scans reveal that schizophrenia is linked to widespread loss of the synapses that connect brain cells, with the left side of the brain hit especially hard. The damage follows a surprisingly organized pattern tied to the brain’s chemistry and wiring. Researchers also identified a left frontal region that may serve as a starting point for the loss.

🐭 Mice performing first aid? #Science says yes! When a fellow mouse passes out, others sniff, nudge, and even pull its tongue – seemingly trying to revive it.

What drives this? Transcendent altruism? Or maybe... mom’s meatballs? 🤔 Nope. #Oxytocin.

Are we just biochemical puppets? Or should we start prescribing oxytocin to certain... empathy-challenged individuals?
