Scientists have demonstrated, for the first time, that several psychedelic drugs 鈥� including psilocybin, LSD, mescaline, DMT and ayahuasca 鈥� produce a common pattern of brain activity despite their distinct chemistries.
An international consortium led by a 海角社区 researcher pooled brain imaging data from labs across five countries, creating the largest study of its kind to date.

A new discovery by 海角社区 researchers sheds light on how we retain memories over time, even though brain activity is constantly changing.
Published in , the preclinical study found the brain鈥檚 internal compass remains remarkably stable over time. The findings suggest this steady sense of direction may act as an anchor for memory.

海角社区 has launched the Initiative for Transforming Healthcare (ITH) to apply a systems-based approach and advance technology-enabled solutions to drive change in Canadian healthcare.
Mounting pressures 鈥� from limited access to family doctors to surgical backlogs and emergency room crowding 鈥� are straining Canada鈥檚 health system. The Initiative will explore ways to resolve these growing challenges through cross-sector partnerships.

A new international study offers insights into the health risks posed by crops鈥� absorption of 鈥渃ontaminants of emerging concern鈥� (CECs) and flags knowledge gaps the authors say must be addressed.
CECs include pharmaceuticals, microplastics, engineered nanomaterials and PFAS (commonly known as 鈥渇orever chemicals鈥�). The researchers warn that even when present at very low concentrations, these chemicals can subtly alter plant physiology, disrupt soil health and pose wider environmental and human health risks.

A new injectable gel developed by researchers at 海角社区 and Kyoto University could enable stem cell-based treatments for swallowing disorders.
While stem cells have the potential to repair damaged swallowing muscles, ensuring their survival after injection has been a major challenge. In a preclinical study published in Biomaterials, the new approach improved stem-cell survival by more than five times compared with traditional methods.

Researchers at 海角社区 used 2,000-year-old stone jars in Laos to observe long-term ecological processes, enhancing understanding of how strongly tree cover shapes small freshwater ecosystems. Their findings stand to help scientists predict how freshwater habitats will respond to environmental change, the researchers said.

Pre-teens who struggle to control their video gaming habits are more likely to have psychotic-like experiences a year later, a new study has found.
海角社区 researchers and colleagues at Maastricht University found that 12-year-olds who showed signs of problematic gaming were more likely to experience mild paranoia, unusual beliefs or disturbed perceptions at age 13.

Spending time in nature, even briefly, triggers changes in the brain that calm stress, restore attention and quiet mental clutter, a new study has found.
Researchers at 海角社区 and colleagues at Adolfo Ib谩帽ez University in Chile have examined more than 100 brain-imaging studies from various disciplines. The result is one of the most comprehensive reviews to date of how the brain responds to nature.

A new 海角社区 study has found a direct link between age鈥憆elated declines in neuron activity in the cerebellum and worsening motor skills, including gait, balance and agility. While it is well known that these abilities diminish with age, this is the first research to pinpoint how changes in Purkinje cells 鈥� a key type of cerebellar neuron 鈥� drive this decline and translate into measurable changes in behaviour and physical function.
