This newsletter reports on Europe's severe heatwave and its effects on brain health, as well as the Trump administration's unprecedented request for OpenAI to limit the release of its GPT-5.6 model.
A dangerous heat wave in Western Europe is raising concerns about its effects on the brain and cognition, with research showing increased irritability, violence, and cognitive impairment, particularly in people with mental-health disorders. Scientists are studying the mechanisms but find it difficult to measure the direct impact of prolonged heat exposure.
A new preclinical study suggests that loss of estrogen production in the brain after menopause may disrupt the extracellular matrix in the hippocampus, offering a potential explanation for why women face higher Alzheimer's risk.
Recent studies indicate that relying on AI for tasks like math and writing can impair unaided performance and reduce persistence, potentially eroding human cognitive capabilities over time.
