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. […]

Research Is Being Done On How Orgasms Impact The Brain

Neuroscience, Science /

An orgasm is a powerful and pleasurable release of sexual tension that engages complex biological processes throughout the body, from the skin to the brain. Despite its intensity and the pleasure it brings, science still does not fully understand its precise effects on the brain. The Neurophysiological Enigma of Pleasure The experience of an orgasm,

AI Detects Coma Awareness Earlier Than Doctors

Applied Science, Neuroscience /

Picture being fully conscious in a hospital bed, yet unable to move or signal to those around you. This condition, known as “covert consciousness,” affects many individuals with severe brain injuries. A recent Communications Medicine study found AI can detect subtle facial movements in comatose patients that doctors miss. Hidden Awareness and the Limits of

Scientists Find Brain Link Between Physical Pain and Emotion

Applied Science, Neuroscience /

Scientists have uncovered a brain circuit responsible for the emotional impact of pain, shedding light on why certain physical injuries lead to prolonged suffering. This discovery challenges existing views on pain processing and could revolutionize the way chronic pain is treated. Pain consists of several key elements, with two primary ones being the sensory and

One Brain Scan Can Reveal Your Rate of Aging

Neuroscience, Science /

High school reunions often highlight how differently people age. Some individuals remain mentally sharp and physically active well into their later years, while others begin to experience frailty or memory decline much sooner than anticipated. “The way we age biologically doesn’t always match our chronological age,” said Ahmad Hariri, a psychology and neuroscience professor at
