New Study Finds Axons May Resemble 'Strings of Beads' Instead of Smooth Lines
A recent study challenges the traditional view of axons as smooth, cylindrical fibres, revealing they may actually resemble "strings of beads" or nanoscopic varicosities. Conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University using a high-pressure freezing imaging method, the discovery showed rotund blobs connected by thin tubes within axons. These s...

Brain Injuries May Raise the Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease, Say Researchers
Recent findings from The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center suggest that traumatic brain injuries (TBI) may significantly increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. The study highlights the role of the BAG3 protein in clearing harmful proteins from the brain. Enhancing BAG3 could potentially mitigate the cognitive decline assoc...

First Face Transplant With an Eye Reportedly Does Not Show Any Signs of Rejects After a Year
In May 2023, Aaron James, an electrical lineman, became the first person to undergo a partial face transplant that included an eye. Now, a year later, doctors from New York University Langone Health report no signs of rejection, with blood flow reaching the transplanted eye. However, despite this positive development, James remains unable to see fr...

Harvard and Google Created the Most Detailed Map of Brain Using AI
In a landmark achievement, Harvard University and Google have developed the most detailed brain map ever created. This innovative project focused on a cubic millimeter of human cerebral cortex, a sample taken during an epilepsy surgery in 2014. Over a decade, biologists and machine-learning experts meticulously mapped approximately 57,000 cells and...

Apple Patent Application Hints at AirPods Sensors That Allow Measurement of Brain Electrical Activity
AirPods could soon double as a device that can monitor brain activity. Apple has filed a patent application for an AirPods sensor mechanism that would allow the wearable device to monitor electrical impulses from the wearer's brain, just like the medical devices that require electrodes to be connected to a person's scalp. Here's how Apple's future ...

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.
