One in four single adults say they would stay single even if their “perfect match” appeared tomorrow,…
Man Forgot His Entire Past For Nearly Seven Years Then Remembered Everything
For nearly seven years, a Japanese man lived without the memories that made him who he was. He had forgotten his own name, his family and the life he had built before his memory disappeared.

The 3 Things That Can Make Or Break A Long-Term Relationship, According To Psychology
A relationship can have love, history, attraction and years of shared memories, yet still slowly begin to fall apart.

Psychologist Suggests The Human Brain May Work Like An Antenna
For decades, one basic assumption has shaped how scientists think about the human mind: consciousness comes from the brain.

Experts Reveal 15 Behaviors That Could Point to Chronic Lying
Most people think they can spot a liar. They picture darting eyes, nervous movements, an answer that comes too quickly, or someone suddenly refusing to make eye contact.

For some people, a crowded room can feel exhausting before anyone has even said a word.

A government cover-up. A secret group pulling the strings. A hidden truth that powerful people supposedly do not want ordinary citizens to know. Conspiracy theories can look wildly different, but a new study suggests some believers may share something surprisingly ordinary: discomfort with uncertainty. Researchers examined 253 adults and found that certain psychological and worldview…
Psilocybin Reversed Depression-Like Behaviors in Stressed Rats and Boosted Brain Growth Signals
For weeks, a group of laboratory rats was exposed to a relentless cycle of stress: tilted cages, flashing lights, and unpredictable disruptions to food and water. Eventually, the animals stopped doing something researchers use as a key sign of lost pleasure. They stopped drinking sweetened water. Then they received two low doses of psilocybin, spaced…
The Surprising Way Children Picture Scientists Today
For years, researchers asked children to draw a scientist and received almost the same answer every time: a man in a lab coat, often wearing glasses and surrounded by beakers. Now, after decades of research, that picture is changing, with children drawing women scientists far more often than they once did. The shift offers a…
Study Finds Intelligence May Affect How Men Treat Their Partners
A small study of 202 men has produced a finding that sounds brutal when reduced to a headline: lower intelligence scores were linked to a greater likelihood of certain harmful behaviors toward romantic partners.
