4 Emerging Neurotechnologies for Brain Health & Resilience
Despite a surge in innovation, nearly 80% of emerging neurotechnologies for brain health and resilience remain years away from FDA approval, most still in early developmental stages.
What are the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving Alzheimer's neurodegeneration?
Almost 40% of patients with clinically diagnosed mild cognitive impairment (MCI) progress to Alzheimer's dementia over an average of 18 months, according to role of amyloid-β and tau proteins in alzhe
What Are AI Models of Brain Function in Neuroscience Research?
Researchers are now mimicking biological sleep processes, like synaptic downscaling, to improve how artificial intelligence models retain concepts during learning.
What Are Advanced Neuroimaging Techniques Mapping the Human Brain?
Data downloaded directly from ConnectomeDB, the primary repository for the Human Connectome Project, now exceeds 5400 terabytes (TB).
Leading Emerging Neurotechnologies for Cognitive Enhancement
A five-day brain treatment promising an 85.
AI brain scans could diagnose aging faster, but bias and privacy loom.
A recent study showed AI could detect Alzheimer's markers five years earlier than traditional methods, yet only 3% of clinics in underserved areas have access to such technology.
What Is Working Memory and How It Powers Your Consciousness?
Imagine holding seven distinct thoughts at once.
How Memory Formation & Retrieval Works in the Brain in 2026
Neuroscientists observed tiny bursts of electrical activity, known as "brain ripples," flowing between neurons in 14 people immediately after exercise, according to the BBC .
What Are Neurotransmitters and How Do They Affect Mood?
The space between two nerve cells is less than 40 nanometers wide, yet across this microscopic gap, thousands of chemical messages are constantly firing, dictating everything from your mood to your mo
How Do Brain-Computer Interfaces Connect Minds and Machines?
Macaque monkeys are already navigating virtual reality environments using only their thoughts, revealing the profound potential of brain-computer interfaces.
University of Michigan neurosurgeons implant first wireless brain-computer interface
A person with ALS, previously unable to speak, now communicates at 56 words per minute thanks to a brain-computer interface, a rate approaching natural conversation, according to Space Daily .
What Is Great Ape Intelligence and Why Does It Matter?
A 2024 experiment, published in the journal Science in February, documented pretend play in a great ape species.
Key Brain-Computer Interface Advancements for Everyday Use
A person with severe paralysis caused by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) communicated over 183,000 sentences and nearly 2 million words independently at home using a brain-computer interface, achi
How Does the Human Brain Form and Retrieve Memories?
Every night, as you drift into slow-wave sleep, your hippocampus repeatedly reactivates and replays the day's experiences, effectively rewriting them into your long-term memory.
How Do Brain-Computer Interfaces Work and What's Next?
China has approved a coin-sized brain implant that allows people with severe paralysis to restore hand movements, marking the first such device available outside of a clinical trial globally.
How Does Your Brain Adapt and Change Throughout Life?
A second pregnancy can lead to widespread volumetric decreases in gray matter across the brain, with a median percentage decrease of 2.
Key Neuroscience Discoveries on Consciousness and Mind
Scientists have developed an artificial receptor called mitoDreadd-Gs that can directly stimulate mitochondrial activity inside cells, offering a novel pathway to improve memory problems in animal mod
