A single injection of AAV gene therapy delivered a working OTOF gene and improved hearing in ten patients within weeks, researchers report. The results are striking for one rare f…
Researchers at UC Berkeley have mapped a neural 'sleep switch' that times growth-hormone surges during deep sleep. The circuit links muscle and metabolic health to waking attentio…
Multiple labs have mapped converging biological pathways — from gut microbes and the vagus nerve to metabolic and RNA‑splicing mechanisms — that reverse memory deficits in animal …
Mike Fincke says the moment he "suddenly couldn't speak space" came like a lightning bolt. NASA ruled out a heart attack but the cause, the mission impact and questions about astr…
Researchers at Tufts and the Wyss Institute have built living 'neurobots' from frog cells that self-organize simple nervous systems, altering movement and gene activity in surpris…
Professor John Donoghue, creator first brain chip and founder of BrainGate, says implantable brain–computer interfaces are moving from lab demos into human trials — raising new te…
Three recent research teams have pushed brain implants in different directions: a salt-grain-sized optical recorder, a paper-thin high-bandwidth cortical chip, and injectable cell…
A massive new genetics study ties hundreds of tiny DNA differences to major depressive disorder, improving risk estimates and pointing to brain cell targets — but genetics alone w…
A 24-year-old man from Norfolk who developed aggressive frontotemporal dementia donated his brain to Addenbrooke’s Hospital to help researchers study early-onset disease and its g…
LumiMind unveiled LumiSleep and a live, non‑invasive brain–computer interface gameplay demo at CES 2026, claiming millisecond EEG decoding and closed‑loop sleep guidance powered b…
New neuroscience links the warmth of a hug and skin-to-skin contact to the brain’s interoceptive circuits, emotional regulation and a stronger sense of body ownership — with impli…
Elon Musk this week said Neuralink implants could restore “full body functionality” for people with spinal cord injuries. This article examines the claim, the company's trial prog…
A new wave of artificial skins combines nerve-like electrical spikes, self-diagnostic modules and triboelectric fabrics to give robots fast, low-power touch and reflexes—bringing …
Physicists, philosophers and neuroscientists disagree: determinism, quantum uncertainty, chaos and emergence each change the free-will question. This article explains how modern p…
A new, highly sensitive protein sensor reveals glutamate signals arriving at synapses in real time, exposing an unseen layer of neural communication with implications for learning…
A prominent physicist has proposed that consciousness is a basic field of the universe, a claim that reopens philosophical debates and poses hard scientific questions about testab…
A UNSW Sydney study using EEG on 142 participants found that people experiencing recent auditory hallucinations show increased auditory-cortex responses to imagined speech, suppor…
