The human nervous system is a marvel of intricate wiring. Everything we feel, think, and do depends on that wiring conveying messages at the right place and time. But the “wires” in our nervous system are living cells, which need…

Discover how Coulter BME's Zachary Danziger uses AI, brain-computer interfaces, and neuroscience to uncover the body's hidden communication signals. The Bodyâs Hidden Signals From hand movements to bladder control, Zachary Danziger studies how the nervous system directs the body's…
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — A particular signaling protein in the brain could be a therapeutic target for neurological disorders arising from the deletion of the autism-linked gene MEF2C, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers found in a new mouse study. Deletions or mutations to MEF2C are…
Neuralink is developing two brain implants named "Telepathy" and "Blindsight," aimed at helping people with paralysis or severe vision loss regain some of their abilities using brain-computer interfaces. Elon Musk reveals brain implants to treat paralysis and blindness

Experimental trials of psychedelic drugs in both humans and animals have produced conflicting results, creating doubts about whether hallucinogens have a therapeutic role in treating neurologic or behavioral disorders such as depression and PTSD. To establish a baseline for studying…
In a large study, more than 100 NLP researchers blind-reviewed research ideas; ideas from an LLM agent were judged more novel than human experts’ ideas, though slightly weaker on feasibility (Si, Yang and Hashimoto, 2024). The machine is good at the sideways…
The findings suggest the brain’s core vision areas adapt early to changes in the sensory environment, making better use of the information available to it Newswise — The brains of people who are deaf from an early age re-wire to see…
A new study reveals that when a baby is born prematurely, their cerebellum, the part of the brain with a critical role in motor function, language and cognition, grows and develops in a different way than it would if the…
