NHL enforcers die on average 10 years younger than their fellow players, study finds
A study of former National Hockey League players shows that enforcers who spent a lot of time dropping their gloves or in the penalty box lived significantly shorter lives than their peers. Researchers at Columbia University in New York reached the conclusion after analyzing data from 6,039 NHL players from 1967 to last spring.

Brain activity decoder can reveal stories in people's minds
A new artificial intelligence system called a semantic decoder can translate a person's brain activity—while listening to a story or silently imagining telling a story—into a continuous stream of text. The system developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin might help people who are mentally conscious yet unable to physically speak, such as those debilitated by strokes, to communicate intelligibly again.

Maternal antipathy in childhood is linked to aberrant brain reactions to social reward anticipation in adulthood, study finds
A neuroimaging study of adults with varying levels of adverse childhood experiences showed that participants reporting higher levels of maternal antipathy (in childhood) exhibited reduced activation in the brain reward network when they anticipated social rewards. Normally, activations in brain regions underlying reward processing are elevated when a person is anticipating social rewards. The study was published in Translational Psychiatry.
