A skill becomes automatic as the brain rewires itself to bypass its own bottleneck, new study suggests
Riding a bike, reading a book or folding laundry while watching TV can feel effortless, almost like your brain does it on autopilot. This ease comes from repetition, built through practicing the same task again and again. The prefrontal cortex (PFC), responsible for flexible thinking and decision-making, plays a role in this process, but it also creates a bottleneck. Although highly flexible, it can generally handle only one decision at a time, making multitasking difficult.

People who have a weaker sense of self are also more likely to have less bodily awareness, McGill researchers have found. The study supports the idea that people's perceptions of themselves and how they experience their own bodies are deeply connected. Beyond deepening psychologists' understanding of "embodied cognition," the connection between our minds and our fundamental bodily awareness, the findings could have concrete applications regarding the treatment of certain psychiatric conditions, the researchers said.

Antisense oligonucleotide strategy reverses HNRNPH2-related neurodevelopmental disorder
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have found that they can reverse the effects of HNRNPH2-related neurodevelopmental disorder using antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) in preclinical models. ASOs are short synthetic nucleic acid strands that target specific messenger RNA. In work published in Science Translational Medicine, the researchers show that ASOs block production of the aberrant HNRNPH2 protein. This consequently boosts expression of the closely related HNRNPH1 protein, reducing multiple symptoms of the disorder. The work provides vital mechanistic data to support the advancement of this promising therapy to clinical studies.

Intelligence emerges when the whole brain works as one
For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system? Researchers at the University of Notre Dame now suggest that intelligence doesn't live in one "smart" region of the brain at all. Instead, it emerges from how efficiently and flexibly the brain's many networks communicate and coordinate with each other.

Newfound third cell type enables fully functional hair follicles in the lab
Hair regrowth treatment may soon take a major leap forward, as researchers in a recent study have successfully grown complete, fully functional hair follicles outside of the living body, in a dish. This was made possible by the discovery of a previously unknown third cell type, the accessory mesenchymal cell population, which is essential for growing functional hair follicles. These specific supporting cells allow the follicle to grow deep into the skin, a process called downgrowth, to produce a proper hair shaft.

How the auditory cortex syncs with behavior to help the brain become a better listener
During task engagement, the auditory cortex generates neural activity synchronized with behavioral timing rather than sound, allowing it to respond more selectively to relevant sounds. This adaptive mechanism enhances listening efficiency by reshaping neural responses based on task demands, acting as a dynamic filter rather than simply amplifying sound.
