Resilience profiles during adversity predict psychological outcomes
2026-02-11
Higher self-reported levels of resilience were linked to lower anxiety and depression and better coping strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a study published February 11, 2026, in the open-access journal PLOS One by Joseph Anthony Pettit of Bangor University, U.K., and colleagues.
Successfully managing and adapting to life’s challenges often requires resilience. Resilience has been linked to coping better with mental ill-health, lower emotional distress following adversity, and faster recovery from such experiences. However, past research has neglected individual profiles of resilience and ...
AI and brain control: A new system identifies animal behavior and instantly shuts down the neurons responsible
2026-02-11
A male fruit fly in a laboratory chamber extends his wings and vibrates them to produce his species' version of a love song. A female fly stays nearby listening. Suddenly, a green light flashes across the chamber for a fraction of a second. The male's song cuts off mid-note and his wings fold. The female, not impressed by the interrupted serenade, walks away. The culprit? An AI system that watched the male begin his courtship dance and shut down his song-producing brain cells.
Developed by scientists at Nagoya University and their collaborators from Osaka University and Tohoku University, ...
Suicide hotline calls increase with rising nighttime temperatures
2026-02-11
Suicide hotline calls increase with rising nighttime temperatures (by 168% for temperatures in the hottest 99th percentile), which could warrant temperature-triggered staffing protocols.

What honey bee brain chemistry tells us about human learning
2026-02-11
A multi-institutional team of researchers led by Virginia Tech’s Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC has for the first time identified specific patterns of brain chemical activity that predict how quickly individual honey bees learn new associations, offering important insights into the biological basis of learning and decision-making.
The findings, which were published in Sciences Advances, found that the balance between the neurotransmitters octopamine and tyramine can predict whether a bee will learn quickly, slowly, or not at all as they associate an odor with a reward.
Because the same ancient ...
Common anti-seizure drug prevents Alzheimer’s plaques from forming
2026-02-11
Scientists examined engineered mouse models, human neurons and brains of Down syndrome patients, who are at high risk of developing an aggressive form of Alzheimer’s
Decades-old, FDA-approved drug restored neuronal function, steering neurons away from producing toxic amyloid‑beta 42
Drug would need to be taken ‘very, very early,’ before brain cells die
Existing human clinical data showed drug slowed the progression of Alzheimer’s pathology
CHICAGO — While physicians and scientists have long known Alzheimer’s ...
Twilight fish study reveals unique hybrid eye cells
2026-02-11
Researchers have identified a new type of visual cell in deep-sea fish larvae that challenges a century of knowledge about vertebrate visual systems.
Dr Fabio Cortesi from The University of Queensland’s School of the Environment said the finding could lead to new camera technology and medical treatments.
“For more than 150 years, textbooks have taught that vision in most vertebrates is made of cones and rods – cones which work in bright light and rods for dark situations,” Dr Cortesi said.
“But our study of deep-sea fish larvae revealed a new cell type – a photoreceptor that optimises vision in gloomy or twilight conditions.
“It combines the ...
Could light-powered computers reduce AI’s energy use?
2026-02-11
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — A key problem facing artificial intelligence (AI) development is the vast amount of energy the technology requires, with some experts projecting AI datacenters to be responsible for over 13% of global electricity usage by 2028. According to Xingjie Ni, associate professor of electrical engineering at the Penn State School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, the key to addressing this roadblock could lie in computers powered by light instead of circuitry.
Ni and his team recently developed a prototype device ...
Rebuilding trust in global climate mitigation scenarios
2026-02-11
A new IIASA-led study examines growing critiques of how global climate mitigation scenarios address equity and justice and identifies key conditions for fair, feasible, and politically credible climate action.
Global climate mitigation scenarios shape real-world policy choices of who cuts emissions, who pays, and who benefits from climate action. A new IIASA-led essay published in PLOS Climate identifies how these influential tools address equity and justice, with implications for perceptions of fairness and public trust in climate policy. Drawing on a broad grassroots community process, the study identifies practical ...
Skeleton ‘gatekeeper’ lining brain cells could guard against Alzheimer’s
2026-02-11
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them — signaling molecules, nutrients, even pieces of their own surfaces — in a process known as endocytosis that is essential for learning, memory and basic neural upkeep.
Now, new research by Penn State scientists has revealed this vital process may be governed by a previously unknown molecular gatekeeper: a lattice‑like structure just ...
HPV cancer vaccine slows tumor growth, extends survival in preclinical model
2026-02-11
Throughout the past decade, Northwestern University scientists have uncovered a striking principle of vaccine design: Performance depends not only on vaccine components but also on vaccine structure.
After proving this concept across multiple studies, the team developed therapeutic cancer vaccines to tackle one of the most challenging targets yet — HPV-driven tumors. In a new study, the scientists discovered that systematically changing the orientation and placement of a single cancer-targeting peptide can lead to formulations that supercharge the immune system’s ability to attack tumors.
The study ...
