Globalists programming ChatGPT to “reduce vaccine hesitancy” by parroting public health narratives
At the end of this month, new research will be presented at the Conference of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases showing that the artificial intelligence-driven ChatGPT program dispenses propaganda in promotion of vaccines that comes directly from official public health…
Brain rhythms: Key to understanding emergent thought
Thought emerges and is controlled in the brain via the rhythmically and spatially coordinated activity of millions of neurons, scientists argue in a new article. Understanding cognition and its disorders requires studying it at that level. It could be very informative to observe the…
Team demonstrates miniature brain stimulator in humans
Rice University engineers have developed the smallest implantable brain stimulator demonstrated in a human patient. Thanks to pioneering magnetoelectric power transfer technology, the pea-sized device developed in the Rice lab of Jacob Robinson in collaboration with Motif Neurotech and clinicians Dr. Sameer Sheth and…

Salk scientists explain how CBN protects the brain against aging and neurodegeneration
One in every 10 individuals above the age of 65 develops an age-related neurological disorder like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s, yet treatment options remain sparse for this population. Scientists have begun exploring whether cannabinoids-;compounds derived from the cannabis plant, like well-known THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD…

Researchers Discover New Origin of Deep Brain Waves
UC Irvine researchers have discovered that crucial brain waves for deep sleep, previously believed to be generated only by a specific brain circuit, also originate from the hippocampus, offering new insights into memory processing during sleep. Understanding hippocampal activity could improve sleep and cognition…
Study: Most gender-confused children OUTGROW gender dysphoria during adulthood
A 15-year-period study published in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior reveals that “most” gender-confused children outgrow such feelings by the time they reach adulthood. The study, conducted by Dutch researchers from the University of Groningen , tracked 2,770 children from the age of…
