Novel Brain-Computer Interface Improves Control of Prosthetic Hands With Thought Alone
A recent study by scientists at the German Primate Center has made significant strides in the development of brain-computer interfaces for controlling prosthetic hands. By training rhesus monkeys to use neural signals for hand posture control, the researchers have shifted focus from movement velocity to hand position, resulting in improved fine mot...

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...

Brain Ageing in Monkeys Delays After Being Given Diabetes Medicine Metformin, Study Shows
A recent study has highlighted the potential of metformin, a commonly used diabetes medication, in slowing the ageing process in monkeys. Published in Cell on 12 September, the research shows that daily doses of metformin can preserve cognitive function and delay the ageing effects on various tissues, particularly the brain. This study brings forwa...

Study Decodes Immune System's Requirements For Protection Against COVID-19
Scientists have assessed the novel coronavirus infection in monkeys and found that the immune system's T-Cells may contribute to protection against the virus if antibody responses are suboptimal, an advance which may aid in the development of vaccines and therapeutics for COVID-19.
