Scientists have identified specific neurons in the human brain, known as 'time cells,' that act as a chronological filing system for memories. These cells, located in the hippocampus, allow the…
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have identified a specific neural pathway that governs the placebo effect in pain management. By mapping the circuit between the anterior cingulate cortex…
Neurotechnology firm Synchron has successfully paired its endovascular brain-computer interface with generative artificial intelligence to assist paralyzed patients. This integration allows users to communicate more efficiently by using AI to…
Researchers at UCSF and UC Berkeley have developed a brain-computer interface that enables a paralyzed woman to communicate via a digital avatar. The system translates neural signals into speech and…
Researchers at the University of Lausanne have discovered a new type of brain cell that functions as a hybrid between neurons and glial cells. These glutamatergic astrocytes are capable of…
Researchers at UT Austin have created an AI-powered semantic decoder that translates brain activity into text using non-invasive fMRI scans. The system maps neural blood flow to linguistic concepts, allowing…
Scientists at the University of Copenhagen and the University of Rochester have discovered a fourth meningeal layer in the brain, dubbed the SLYM. This thin, protective membrane plays a critical…
Researchers studying scientists at a remote Antarctic station discovered that prolonged isolation and environmental monotony lead to measurable shrinkage in parts of the brain. The study highlights the impact of…
Scientists at UCSF have discovered a specific neural circuit in the brainstem's area postrema that triggers sickness behaviors like lethargy and loss of appetite. This circuit monitors the bloodstream for…
