A Widespread Lack of a Key Nutrient Could be Quietly Affecting Young Brains

Applied Science, Neuroscience /

Scientists have long understood that physical health conditions can influence the brain. Obesity, high blood pressure, and insulin resistance strain the body’s systems, accelerating cognitive decline and raising Alzheimer’s risk. A new study from Arizona State University and collaborating institutions suggests these effects may begin far earlier than previously thought. Researchers found that young adults […]

A Fully Synthetic Model of The Human Brain Has Been Created for the First Time

Neuroscience, Science /

Neural tissue engineering aims to replicate the brain’s extracellular matrix, supporting neuron growth and connectivity. This environment is precisely organized and conveys signals that direct how cells behave and interact. 3D tissue-engineered models hold great promise for reproducing the brain’s complex structure and functions. Replicating the brain’s fine features in the lab remains difficult, as

A Brain Circuit Linked to Compulsive Behaviors Has Now Been Identified and Mapped

Neuroscience, Psychology /

Researchers at Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet have discovered a brain circuit that triggers repetitive, compulsive actions in mice—even when they have access to natural rewards like food or social interaction. The findings, published in Science Advances, could deepen understanding of conditions such as obsessive-compulsive disorder and addiction. Animals and humans alike can get locked into repetitive

The Neurotechnology Revolution: What Once Was Sci-Fi Is Now Real

Neuroscience, Science /

Advancing from converting thoughts into speech to enabling paralyzed individuals to walk, neurotechnology has been steadily progressing, sparking hopes for medical innovations as well as significant ethical questions. Some experts believe that neurotechnology could become as transformative as the widely discussed surge of artificial intelligence (AI). “Many people don’t realize how much of our lives

Why Your Brain Struggles to Concentrate When you’re Sleep-Deprived

Applied Science, Neuroscience /

Sleep isn’t just downtime — it’s a vital biological function that keeps your mind sharp, your thoughts focused, and your reflexes quick. Yet in today’s fast-moving world, skipping sleep has become routine, even though our bodies depend on it as much as they do on oxygen. A restless night can derail your brain’s repair cycle,

A Grain-sized Wireless Brain Implant Fires Lasers

Applied Science, Neuroscience /

If you have a brain—and know others who do—you’re aware of the countless ways our skull-bound electro-meat machines can fail us. From memory loss to migraines, depression to dementia, the brain is remarkably creative at breaking down, often turning lives into mental misery. “Good news, everyone!” Cornell and partners developed a pinhead-sized micro-neural implant that

Scientists Create Synthetic Neurons that Function like Natural ones

Applied Science, Neuroscience /

Engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have created an artificial neuron whose electrical behavior closely mirrors that of natural brain cells. This breakthrough expands on their previous work with protein nanowires derived from electricity-generating bacteria. The technique could one day let computers match the energy efficiency of living systems and connect with biological tissue.
