A new study provides the first evidence for the existence of flexible neuron modules in the brain, particularly in the prefrontal cortex. These clusters of neurons can perform the same computations across varied tasks, allowing the brain to store different types of information, such as sensory input or action plans, with remarkable adaptability. This discovery suggests that reusable circuits enable the brain to generate a wide range of behaviours efficiently.

Researchers found that stress impacts specific brain regions, which in turn affect intestinal microbiota balance and hematopoietic stem cell function.
A new study suggests that manipulating the gut microbiome by stimulating the vagus nerve may help reverse memory loss associated with ageing. The research highlights the gut's role in cognitive function and potential therapeutic strategies.
