Twenty Neurons Trigger Learned Movements in Mice
Science
— Oct 14, 2026
In mice, researchers found that briefly stimulating about 20 carefully selected motor-cortex neurons can activate the broader brain-activity pattern linked to a learned movement and often produce the movement itself. The findings suggest these patterns play a causal role in learned motor behavior, rather than merely reflecting commands from elsewhere in the brain.

Pantethine May Ease Psoriasis Symptoms in Small Trial
Science
— Oct 27, 2026
Researchers found that pantethine, a vitamin B5 derivative, dampened immune-cell activity and prevented psoriasis in mice; in a small trial, it also eased symptoms when added to topical treatment. The early results are promising but preliminary, and larger, longer studies are needed to determine whether the supplement is safe and effective as a psoriasis treatment.

Pregnancy Rewires Brain Circuit Driving Food Cravings in Mice
Nature Neuroscience
— Sep 18, 2026
Researchers have pinpointed a brain mechanism in mice linking pregnancy to stronger cravings for palatable foods: serotonin neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus become less active during gestation due to increased SK3 channel activity, which drives food-seeking behavior. The team also traced a neural pathway to the ventral tegmental area, where activation reduces cravings, shedding light on the neural basis of gestational eating patterns observed in humans.

Human Brain Organoids Build Circuits in Cortex-Less Mice
Stanford University
— Sep 16, 2026
Researchers have transplanted lab-grown human brain organoids into mice engineered to lack most of their cortex, creating xenocortical models in which human tissue integrates and expands to occupy missing brain regions, showing activity and neural connections that can restore aspects of cognition and behavior. These studies establish a new in vivo platform for studying human brain development and neurodevelopmental disorders, while highlighting both therapeutic potential and ongoing challenges in translating organoid-based findings to human health.

Restoring some mouse behavior is interesting but it probably won't translate cleanly to fixing actual human brain problems anytime soon.

Pest infestations prompt closures at three Birmingham businesses
Health
— Oct 9, 2026
Birmingham food businesses faced emergency closure orders after inspections found serious pest infestations: Oakhurst News Express had rats, while Charcoal Grill and Prime Shop were found with cockroaches and, at Prime Shop, mice. Oakhurst’s problems were treated and officials later found no continuing public-health risk, but cockroaches remained at Charcoal Grill during reinspection; the available reports do not confirm whether Prime Shop reopened.

Experts Share Ways to Preserve Muscle With Age
cardiolipin
— Sep 29, 2026
A fitness coach recommends adequate protein, regular strength training, quality sleep and staying active to help limit age-related muscle loss, which can be compounded by sedentary habits and rapid weight loss on GLP-1 drugs. Separately, researchers found that age-related declines in mitochondrial cardiolipin may contribute to muscle changes, and restoring it partly reversed muscle wasting in mice—an early finding that could point to future treatments.
