Alzheimer’s disease may have triggers outside the brain, study suggests

Scientists are gaining new insights into the mechanisms behind Alzheimer’s disease, with new research suggesting that some of the immune processes involved in brain damage may be initiated outside the brain. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine reached the finding after studying......

Study warns human brain evolution cannot keep pace with artificial intelligence

A new scientific study suggests that one of the greatest challenges posed by artificial intelligence is not the possibility of machines rebelling against humans, but the growing gap between the rapid pace of technological innovation and the much slower evolution of the human brain. Researchers argue......

Harvard and Princeton map entire drosophila nervous system neurons

Researchers from Harvard Medical School and Princeton University have produced the first complete wiring map of the central nervous system of an adult fruit fly. The work reconstructs every neuron and synaptic connection, creating a unified view of around 160,000 neurons. The dataset reveals that motor......

Study finds 3000 genes differ between male and female brains

A large scale analysis of individual brain cells has identified more than 3,000 genes whose activity differs between male and female brains, offering new insight into biological factors linked to neurological and psychiatric disorders. The study, published in Science, analyzed gene expression across......

Brain study shows shared neural code between vision and imagination

When people picture a familiar face or recall a place, the brain activates many of the same neurons involved in seeing it. A study published on April 9 in Science by researchers at Cedars-Sinai provides detailed evidence at the single-neuron level that visual perception and mental imagery rely on a shared......

Living brain cells trained to perform machine learning tasks in a breakthrough study

Researchers in Japan have shown that living neurons grown in a petri dish can be trained to carry out machine learning tasks previously thought to be the exclusive domain of artificial systems, an advance that could reshape the boundary between biology and computing. A team from Tohoku University and......

Johns Hopkins team releases detailed atlas of human brain development

Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers and global collaborators unveiled the most comprehensive cellular atlas of the developing human neocortex. The study integrates data from nearly 200 published works and over 30 million cells. Published in Nature Neuroscience on March 25, 2026, it maps the formation......

Researchers identify distinct molecular pattern in autistic brains through imaging study

Recent research conducted at Yale School of Medicine has uncovered the first measurable molecular distinction in the brains of individuals with autism, revealing about 15 percent fewer glutamate receptors compared to neurotypical participants. The discovery, published in The American Journal of......

Nike unveils groundbreaking technologies to redefine athletic performance

Nike has introduced a series of revolutionary innovations aimed at reclaiming its leadership in sportswear innovation under the ambitious strategy of CEO Elliott Hill. The announcement reveals four transformative technologies, including the world's first motorized running shoes, neuroscience-based......
