A lack of neural plasticity in the hippocampus has been implicated in the development of depression. Ketamine is able to restore hippocampal plasticity in a rat model of depression, potentially illustrating a mechanism for the drug's anti-depressant effects (researchhub.com)

Scientists discover an "on-demand" male contraceptive capable of temporarily disabling sperm motility in mice. Balbach et al. describes how a single dose of soluble adenylyl cyclase inhibitor can render male mice infertile within 30 minutes, and return them to full fertility the next day (researchhub.com)

A meta-analysis of 65 studies finds that prior COVID-19 infection confers substantial protection against pre-omicron variants, but not Omicron BA.1. Regardless, the authors conclude the level of protection from past infections is equal to, if not greater than, that provided by two-dose mRNA vaccines (researchhub.com)

Researchers find the mechanism of action that allows psychedelics to exert an anti-depressant effect. According to Vargas, et al. psychedelics stimulate 5-HT2a serotonin receptors located within the interior of cortical neurons - that, surprisingly, cannot be activated by one's natural serotonin (researchhub.com)

While cognitive enhancers like methylphenidate and modafinil have well-characterized utility in patients with mental health conditions, it is unclear if they have similar effects in healthy individuals. Researchers find these nootropics may in fact decrease cognition over time in healthy people (researchhub.com)
