Decapitated Worms Regrow Heads, Keep Old Memories
In French Revolution-style, researchers decapitated flatworms—then did something that would give even Madam Defarge the creeps. The scientists let the worms’ heads grow back and found that their memor...

Are depression and intelligence related? The answer may be in our genes
Scientists combed through a massive genetic dataset and discovered depression and intelligence have a “dual relationship,” with mixed effects.

Yes,there is significant relation between intelligence and depression.
Be it that empathy thrives at a higher IQ (to say dumb people aren't capable of placing themselves in others perspective. )
A depression is an expression of noncocompliance, not conforming to the misery of self and othere.

Study reveals immune driver of brain aging
Scientists have identified a key factor in mental aging and shown that it might be prevented or reversed by fixing a glitch in the immune system’s front-line soldiers.
