Associate Professor at the University of Oulu Teemu Myllylä, a leading expert in biomedical engineering, recently discussed his team’s groundbreaking work in brain health monitoring and early detection of neurodegenerative diseases at the recent 6G-enabled sustainable society event. Their research focuses on wearable technologies…
Neuronal spines are the little bumps along the spreading branches of a neuron. Credit: The human brain can change —but usually only slowly and with great effort, such as when learning a new sport or foreign language, or recovering from a stroke. Learning new…

A new study suggests that a high-fat diet may impair memory by causing inflammatory effects and issues in cell-signaling management in the brain cells, especially as people age, but the omega-3 fatty acid DHA may help mitigate these effects. The research, focusing on microglia…

A new study clarifies past conflicting observations on visual recognition memory (VRM), showing that increased visual evoked potentials (VEPs) during the recognition of familiar stimuli signal the brain’s rapid identification process, ultimately leading to decreased overall neural activity. Since determining what we observe as…
Aerobic and strength training could help keep the brain young, a new study suggests. Image credit: Rob and Julia Campbell/Getty Images. Engaging in both aerobic exercise and strength training can improve cognitive performance in populations aged over 80 years, a new study suggests. Participants…
A new lightweight device with a wisplike tether can record neural activity while mice jump, run and explore their environment. The open-source recording system, which its creators call ONIX, overcomes several of the limitations of previous systems and enables the rodents to move more…

A complete map of all the connections in an entire mammalian brain may be in sight. Allen Institute researchers have just launched three new projects to construct large, detailed maps of neuronal connections in sections of the mouse and macaque brains, with an eye…
The MIND diet study showed improvements in cognition over a three-year period, particularly during the first two years. Both the MIND diet group and the control group, focusing on calorie reduction, saw improvements, suggesting potential benefits from weight loss. The diet developed at RUSH…
Bengaluru: The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given the green light to Neuralink, a company founded by Elon Musk, to conduct human trials in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology. This technology involves implanting a tiny chip in the brain that can read and…
Summary: Researchers have unveiled the brain’s chemical mechanism behind our attention span. Historically, the neurotransmitter acetylcholine was considered the sole regulator of attention. Yet, this study shows that gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) collaborates with acetylcholine, toggling like a ‘switch’ in the brain’s claustrum region to…
Using a novel deep brain stimulation (DBS) device capable of recording brain signals, researchers have identified a pattern of brain activity or “biomarker” related to clinical signs of recovery from treatment-resistant depression. The findings from this small study are an important step towards using…
