The evolution of the human brain may owe as much to fruit and honey as to meat, according to a new #ScienceAnalyticalReview.
The findings challenge one of the dominant ideas about our ancestors' diet. https://t.co/SshRZKuaKX

Emotions are fundamental to human life, but when dysregulated, they can contribute to anxiety and trauma-related mood disorders.
In a new #SciencePerspective, researchers dive into new approaches to understand emotions across species and how these insights could be used to advance treatments for psychiatric disorders.

The new study found that #children who reported an average of more than two hours of #socialmedia use each day had a 29% higher risk of high #depression symptoms and a 17% higher risk of poor wellbeing than those who were on social media for less than one hour a day.

A new study @Nature of over 1,200 medical university employees found that job #stress, specifically an imbalance between effort and reward, significantly lowers quality of life, and poor sleep quality plays a key role in this link.
More than 60% of participants reported effort-reward imbalance, and they had worse #sleep and lower quality of life across physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains.
Structural equation modeling showed that the negative impact of #job stress on well-being was partly explained by disrupted sleep, with subjective sleep quality and daytime dysfunction being the main drivers.
These findings suggest that workplace interventions should focus on improving #rewards (like recognition and fair compensation) and supporting sleep health to protect employee well-being.

Among adolescents in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study, increasing #SocialMedia use, regardless of initial baseline, was associated with modestly reduced cognitive performance on multiple NIH Toolbox assessments, including reading recognition, episodic memory, and vocabulary.

Un nuevo y masivo meta‑análisis publicado en JAMA Pediatrics confirma (otra vez) lo que muchos temían: el uso de redes sociales está ligado a un declive en la salud mental de los jóvenes. 📉🧠
👥 Escala global: Se analizaron 153 estudios longitudinales con más de 18.000 niños y adolescentes.
📱 El componente más problemático: Aunque el uso digital general tiene impacto, las redes sociales muestran las asociaciones más consistentes con ansiedad, depresión y otros problemas de salud mental.
📅 Tendencia reciente: Los efectos negativos son más fuertes en los estudios de la última década, coincidiendo con plataformas más inmersivas y algoritmos más sofisticados. 🤳
🧩 Más que tiempo: No se trata solo de “cuántas horas”, sino de la calidad y el tipo de interacción digital.
🌍 Consistencia global: La evidencia es consistente a través de diferentes culturas y países. Es hora de pasar de “limitar el tiempo” a una moderación parental activa. 👨👩👧👦🛡️

"Some relationships aren’t supposed to last. Some friendships aren’t meant to be forever. People come into your life for a season, a reason, or a lifetime. And part of growing is learning not to force someone into the wrong category. As you evolve, your circle will too. Let them.” ~Mel Robbins
Un nuevo estudio demuestra que combinar alcohol y cocaína altera los circuitos cerebrales responsables de las recaídas en el uso y abuso de las drogas. Sugiriendo enfoque y manejo médico diferente a personas que usan ambas sustancias que a los que se solo usan cocaína.
A new study shows that combining cocaine and alcohol changes the brain circuits responsible for drug relapse. This suggests treating people who use both substances will require entirely different medical approaches than treating those who only use cocaine. https://t.co/tAdVrRm8k6
El trastorno de memoria que genera la marihuana no es solo un problema de "mientras estás drogado".
El efecto persiste incluso después de detener el consumo.
