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…
Researchers at Trinity College have discovered that two-month-old infants possess much more advanced cognitive abilities than previously believed. By using functional magnetic resonance imaging, the study tracked how 130 babies…
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have successfully mapped the human brain's glymphatic system using advanced MRI technology. The study confirms that this waste-clearance network is vital for removing…
A decade-long international effort has culminated in the creation of the most detailed 3D digital map of the human brain to date. This resource, hosted on the EBRAINS platform, allows…
