Once the stuff of sci-fi novels and futurists’ ramblings, the idea of stimulating the brain with an external device to improve cognitive function has actually been found to work by Nissan, after its Formula E drivers became guinea pigs for the Brain to Performance…
What type of brain tumor does this patient have? AI technology helps to determine this as early as during surgery, within 1.5 hours. This process normally takes a week. The new technology allows neurosurgeons to adjust their surgical strategies on the spot. Today, researchers…
Advertisement An autopsy report has confirmed that a Neuralink implant ruptured the brain of a female macaque during an experiment, forcing scientists to end its suffering. According to an Oct. 4 report by Wired magazine , the implant “deformed and ruptured” the brain of…
When you’re feeling tired, annoyed, or downright sad for no reason—at least a reason that makes sense—it can be difficult to move past it. While therapy can help long-term, I’ve always wondered if there are quick things to do in the moment to shift…
Summary: Utilizing artificial intelligence, researchers developed “HistoAge,” an algorithm predicting age at death and unraveling the enigmas of brain aging and neurodegenerative disorders. By analyzing nearly 700 digitized hippocampal sections from elderly brain donors, the tool forecasts age with striking accuracy and identifies regions…

Deep brain stimulation can alleviate treatment-resistant depression for some patients. Read more It can be challenging to create a treatment plan for depression. This is especially true for patients who aren’t responding to conventional treatments and are undergoing experimental therapies such as deep brain…
Alexander Dummer/Unsplash Having a healthy, well-functioning brain is a great priority for all of us. And each day we get to make decisions that either vote for brain health, or against it. Many of the variables that contribute to the health of our brains…

Researchers have identified a unique biomarker in the brain that signifies recovery from treatment-resistant depression, utilizing deep brain stimulation and artificial intelligence to understand and enhance treatment outcomes. A breakthrough study reveals a unique biomarker in the brain that tracks recovery from severe depression,…
Blue micrograph shows the activity of neurons in the hippocampus of a rat as shown by white flecks Neurons, the brain cells responsible for relaying chemical and electrical messages , have long been considered the key players in memory formation — but new research…

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…
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain When we think of brains, we tend to think of neurons. It’s right there in our word for the study of the brain: neuroscience. But when it comes to certain mysteries of the brain—for example, the role of sleep in…
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…
