Mitophagy dynamics change with age, particularly during midlife, influencing brain health and aging. These findings offer insights for developing therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. The mitochondria, often referred to as the powerhouses of our cells, play a vital role in maintaining cellular health. When damaged, these organelles are removed through a recycling process known as mitophagy,...

In the late 1960s, researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science, including Professors Michael Sela and Ruth Arnon and Dr. Dvora Teitelbaum, developed synthetic molecules called copolymers. Initially intended to mimic multiple sclerosis (MS) in animal models, these compounds unexpectedly led to a breakthrough drug, Copaxone, used worldwide to treat...
A recent study published in Neuropsychologia has identified specific patterns of brain connectivity that can predict an individual’s tendency toward online shopping addiction. Using advanced brain imaging and predictive modeling techniques, researchers found that certain connections between key brain networks, such as the frontal-parietal network and default mode network, played...
A new study published in the Journal of Vision has unveiled how our brains detect faces even when presented with limited and ambiguous visual information. Using a specialized technique to suppress conscious awareness, the researchers found that stimuli resembling faces are processed more quickly, even when visual details are minimal....
