Scientists discover brain circuit driving alcohol addiction relapse

Researchers at Scripps Research have identified a brain region that becomes hyperactive in rats, linking alcohol to relief from withdrawal stress and promoting relapse. The paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus plays a key role in this negative reinforcement learning. The findings, published on August 5, 2025, could inform treatments for addiction and related disorders.

Scientists uncover brain circuit that overrides chronic pain

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have identified a group of brainstem neurons that can suppress chronic pain signals when survival needs like hunger or fear arise. These Y1 receptor neurons in the lateral parabrachial nucleus act as a neural switchboard, prioritizing urgent biological demands over persistent discomfort. The discovery, published in Nature, offers potential new avenues for pain treatments.

DMT reduces stroke damage in animal and cell studies

Researchers in Hungary have found that DMT, a natural psychoactive compound, significantly mitigates brain damage from stroke in animal models and cell cultures. The molecule restores the blood-brain barrier and curbs inflammation, potentially complementing current treatments. These discoveries, published in Science Advances, highlight DMT's therapeutic promise amid limited stroke options.
