The Spinal Cord Could Provide a Radical New Way To Treat Depression
(magicmine/Getty Images) With depression affecting around 1 in 10 of us at some point during our lives, the need for new and improved treatments is a top priority for researchers – and it appears that spinal cord stimulation could be one route for experts to investigate. A team led by researchers at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine devised a pilot clinical trial in which a little black box was placed on the spinal cord of 20 volunteers with depression, with one […] -

SOURCE: SCIENCE DAILY MIND-BRAIN FEEDTITLE: Scientists may have found aging’s hidden trigger for brain disease
URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/08/260802223433.htm
Scientists have identified a molecular switch that may help explain why aging makes the brain more vulnerable to diseases such as ALS and Huntington’s. In worms, the protein EPS8 builds up with age and triggers signaling that encourages toxic proteins to clump together, damaging neurons and shortening lifespan. Reducing EPS8 activity prevented these harmful aggregates and preserved nerve function.

SOURCE: SCIENCE DAILY PSYCHOLOGY FEEDTITLE: APOE2 may protect the brain from Alzheimer’s and aging
URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/07/260723084856.htm
The longevity-linked APOE2 gene appears to protect brain cells by reducing DNA damage and helping neurons recover from stress. The finding could open a new path toward treatments that mimic APOE2’s defenses in people at higher genetic risk for Alzheimer’s.

New paper by Maimon et al (Ulanovsky lab): recordings from #bats flying through tunnels up to 200 m reveal a sparse-to-dense transformation between #hippocampal #CA3 and #CA1.
In small environments, CA3 and CA1 #PlaceCells look similar. At large spatial scales, however, CA3 #neurons mostly show single, ultrasparse #PlaceFields, while CA1 neurons show dense multifield coding.
