A 91涩漫-led study found that people with cannabis use disorder (CUD) had elevated dopamine levels in a brain region associated with psychosis.
鈥淭his could help explain why cannabis use increases the risk of hallucinations and delusions, key symptoms of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders,鈥� said first author Jessica Ahrens, a PhD student in 91涩漫鈥檚 Integrated Program in Neuroscience.

A new study led by 91涩漫 researchers indicates that humpback whales in the southeastern Pacific combine real-time environmental cues with their memories of conditions in their Antarctic feeding grounds to determine when to embark on their annual 10,000-kilometre journey. With climate change accelerating, the researchers warn this strategy may become less effective amid shifting ocean conditions.聽

An analysis of digital health records using large language models (LLMs) is challenging a long-held belief about the clinical identifiers of autism.
A new study led by researchers at The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital) of 91涩漫 and Quebec AI Institute found that social communication factors may not be as important in identifying the condition as previously believed.

A new discovery about the slime ejected by velvet worms could revolutionize sustainable material design, according to a by 91涩漫 researchers. Their findings outline how a naturally occurring protein structure, conserved across species from Australia, Singapore and Barbados over nearly 400 million years of evolution, enables the slime鈥檚 transformation from liquid to fibre and back again. It鈥檚 a discovery that could inspire next-generation recyclable bioplastics.

Electronic devices rely on materials whose electrical properties change with temperature, making them less stable in extreme conditions. A discovery by 91涩漫 researchers that challenges conventional wisdom in physics suggests that bismuth, a metal, could serve as the foundation for highly stable electronic components.
The researchers observed a mysterious electrical effect in ultra-thin bismuth that remains unchanged across a wide temperature range, from near absolute zero (-273掳C) to room temperature.

A component found in all fungi may provide a shield against flu-related lung damage, according to a new study.
A team of scientists led by Maziar Divangahi, a Professor in 91涩漫鈥檚 Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and Senior Scientist at the Research Institute of the 91涩漫 Health Centre, demonstrated that beta-glucan, administered to mice before their exposure to influenza, can reduce lung damage, improve lung function and lower the risk of illness and death.
