Researchers Develop Cell-Level Wearable Devices to Restore Neuron Function
Scientists at MIT have developed groundbreaking cell-wearable devices that mimic natural myelin to treat neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis. These micro-scale devices wrap around neurons and restore disrupted electrical signalling. They are battery-free and activated by light, allowing for non-invasive monitoring and modulation of neuro...

Bionic Limbs Controlled by Brain Signals: A Leap Forward for Amputees
Recent advances in bionic limb technology have transformed prosthetics for amputees, enabling control through brain signals. A clinical trial demonstrated the agonist-antagonist myoneural interface (AMI), which reconstructs muscle pairs to enhance control and perception. This approach allows for more natural movement and feedback, significantly imp...

Monkeys Study Uncovers Science Behind 'Choking Under Pressure'
A recent study published in the journal Neuron reveals insights into why both monkeys and humans struggle under pressure. Researchers found that stress impairs brain signals crucial for movement execution when faced with high rewards. The study, involving monkeys completing tasks for water, demonstrated that performance declined when potential rewa...

Anti-Ageing Effects Of Cannabis Observed In The Brains Of Mice: Study
Recent research reveals that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active compound in cannabis, shows potential as an anti-aging agent for the brain.

Book Excerpt | How Treating Pain Can Help You Sleep
Areas in your brain which recognize pain signals also regulate sleep. Persistent pain causes lack of sleep or impacts its quality and, in turn, poor sleep prevents chronic inflammation from shutting off.

Neuralink Brain Chip Implant Wires Now Stable in First Patient, Musk Hopes for More Human Trials This Year
Neuralink's first brain chip implant in a human has stabalised, company executives have confirmed this week. The device works by using tiny wires, which are thinner than a human hair, to capture signals from the brain and translate those into actions such as moving a mouse cursor on a computer screen.

A Whiff Of Tears Reduces Male Aggression: Study
Watching someone cry often evokes an emotional response -- but according to a new study published Thursday, human tears themselves contain a chemical signal that reduces brain activity linked to aggression.

Would You Let Elon Musk Implant a Device in Your Brain?
With Neuralink’s device, a robot surgically inserts a device into the brain that can then decode some brain activity and connect the brain signals to computers and other machines. A person paralyzed from the neck down, for example, could use the interface to manipulate her physical environment, as well as to write and communicate.

Nerve-Cooling Implant Could Provide Pain Relief on Demand, Eliminate Need for Addictive Painkillers
In a game-changing discovery in medical sciences, researchers have developed a flexible implant that can relieve pain in the patient. The implant can serve as an alternative to painkillers and can help obviate the need to use addictive medications. The implant is a biocompatible and water-soluble device that functions by wrapping around the nerves ...

UK PM's Aide Cites IIT Research Paper To Revamp Decision Making
Most complex systems like stock markets, climate systems, human body and neurons in the mammalian brain, give out the signal that it's reaching a tipping point and if that can be identified, many catastrophic events could be avoided.

Poor Sleep May Predict The Risk Of Alzheimer's Disease In Older Adults
Older adults who sleep poorly or have less slow-wave sleep, deep sleep needed to consolidate memories and wake up feeling refreshed, have higher levels of tau -- a toxic brain protein.

Study: Anxiety Linked To Kicking, Yelling During Sleep
During normal REM sleep, your brain sends signals to prevent your muscles from moving.However, for people with REM sleep behavior disorder, those signals are disrupted.
