Inflammatory Brain Cells Driving Progressive MS Discovered
Summary: Researchers have identified a rare type of brain cell that may drive the chronic inflammation and neurodegeneration seen in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). These cells, called disease-associated radial glia-like…
AI Robots Learn Touch and Vision to Handle Objects Like Humans
Summary: A new breakthrough shows how robots can now integrate both sight and touch to handle objects with greater accuracy, similar to humans. Researchers developed TactileAloha, a system that combines…
First “Microwave Brain” Chip Merges Ultrafast Data and Wireless Signals
Summary: Researchers have built the first “microwave brain” chip capable of processing both ultrafast data and wireless communication signals at once. By harnessing analog, nonlinear microwave physics instead of conventional…
Electric Ear Stimulation Boosts Power for Self-Compassion
Summary: A new study finds that stimulating the vagus nerve via a small electrical pulse to the outer ear can amplify the benefits of self-compassion meditation. Participants who received stimulation…
3D-Printed Brain Model Mimics Neural Damage
Summary: Researchers have developed a groundbreaking 3D brain model that closely mirrors the architecture and function of the human brain. Built using biomimetic 3D printing, the Bioengineered Neural Network (BENN)…
ECT Cuts Suicide Risk by 34% in Severe Depression
Summary: A new meta-analysis reveals that Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) reduces suicide risk by 34% and all-cause mortality by 30% in individuals with severe depression. The study, which pooled data from…
Virtual Reality Reveals Hidden Brain Patterns in Kids With ADHD
Summary: Researchers used a virtual reality game and functional MRI to uncover how children’s brains with ADHD respond differently during active tasks. Unlike traditional brain scans taken during rest, this…
Red Light Therapy May Reduce Deadly Blood Clots
Summary: Exposure to long-wavelength red light significantly reduced blood clot formation in both mice and human studies. Red light was associated with lower inflammation, reduced immune system activation, and fewer…
Revolutionizing Brain Diagnostics with Light and AI
Summary: A new “molecular lantern” technique allows researchers to monitor molecular changes in the brain non-invasively using a thin light-emitting probe. This innovative tool utilizes Raman spectroscopy to detect chemical…
