A team of researchers at Harvard Medical School has discovered that lithium deficiency in the brain is one of the earliest changes leading to Alzheimer's disease.

A MIT study published in June found that people using ChatGPT wrote less effectively, scoring lower on memory, focus, and critical thinking tests than those who wrote solo or with search engines.
