New research, from King's College London and the University of Porto, has mapped the histamine system in the brain. Histamine, a molecule more commonly associated with allergies, plays a separate but poorly understood role in brain function.
 
 
 High-dose vitamin D3 in pregnancy may boost children’s memory by age 10High-dose vitamin D3 in pregnancy may boost children’s memory by age 10
 
High-dose vitamin D3 supplementation from mid-pregnancy to early postpartum was associated with better verbal and visual memory in children at age 10. The post hoc analysis suggests prenatal vitamin D3 exposure may support selected cognitive functions, although findings require cautious interpretation.
 
   Neutrophils may play unexpected role in schizophrenia developmentNeutrophils may play unexpected role in schizophrenia development
 
The most common white blood cells in your body - immune cells called neutrophils - can make a protein nobody knew they were making, Stanford Medicine investigators have discovered.
 
   Cannabis and tobacco co-use may increase psychosis riskCannabis and tobacco co-use may increase psychosis risk
 
A new multisite study published in Nature Mental Health found that using cannabis and tobacco together increases the risk of developing psychotic disorders like schizophrenia among those considered high risk.
 
   Genetic schizophrenia risk linked to neurodevelopmental changes during early adolescenceGenetic schizophrenia risk linked to neurodevelopmental changes during early adolescence
 
Research has found that children with higher genetic susceptibility to schizophrenia show decreases in frontal cortical surface area during early adolescence, in contrast to the regional expansion observed in children with low genetic susceptibility.
 
 Scientists link schizophrenia risk gene to early cortical neuron changes
 
Scientists link schizophrenia risk gene to early cortical neuron changesResearchers at King's College London have identified the biological nature and timing of changes in human cortical neurons caused by altering activity of a schizophrenia-associated gene in developing human neurons.

 Second-career nursing candidates help solve national staffing shortages
 
Second-career nursing candidates help solve national staffing shortagesWhile the usual conversation about our national nursing shortage focuses on how to recruit young people, there is another potential pipeline: people in their 40s and 50s—often pursuing a second career—who are also, in many ways, exactly the nurses that NYU Langone Health needs.
 
 
 UCLA researchers identify brain circuit controlling memory organization
 
UCLA researchers identify brain circuit controlling memory organizationWhen a person has a new experience, their brain faces a subtle but critical decision: should this experience be categorized with other stored memories, or should it be filed away as its own new memory? Getting it right allows the brain to help people navigate the world.
 
 
 Study identifies genetic pathways linking cannabis use and psychosis
 
New research from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London has highlighted the distinct and shared molecular pathways linking cannabis use disorder (CUD) and psychosis, offering the potential for identifying those at risk, as well as targeted interventions for cannabis related psychosis.
 
 
 Key neural circuit helps the brain “change gears”
 
Most people have experienced the feeling: switching from one task to another, only to find the brain momentarily stuck in the old mode of thinking. Sometimes, even after realizing a strategy no longer works, the mind keeps returning to it anyway.
 
 
 Blood protein biomarkers predict psychosis risk in Asian youth
 
A new study by researchers from NHG Health's Institute of Mental Health (IMH) and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore's (NTU Singapore) Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine) has identified blood-based proteomic biomarkers that may help predict who among the at-risk group is at increased risk of developing psychosis.
