Scientists have identified a previously unknown organ: a pair of salivary glands located in the upper throat. This area of the nasopharynx, found behind the nose, was thought to contain only scattered microscopic salivary glands. However, the newly identified glands measure around 3.9 centimeters in length. Positioned above a cartilage structure called the torus tubarius, […]

We all engage in inner dialogue—whether it’s a pep talk or silent reflection. These unspoken thoughts often reveal more than what we say aloud. Now, Stanford researchers have developed an AI system that decodes internal speech to help people with paralysis communicate—especially those who struggle with current brain-to-speech tools. Unlike older systems that require attempted
