News Oct 26, 2026 Implantable chip tracks brain-region communication to guide therapy EPFL researchers have developed LogSync, a tiny implantable neural chip that monitors synchrony between brain regions to identify cognitive and emotional states in real time. The system consumes under 200 microwatts and could enable more precise treatments for psychiatric and neurological disorders. Giulio Prisco 2 min read
News Oct 26, 2026 Psilocybin reshapes brain circuits without requiring hallucinations, study finds UC Santa Cruz researchers discovered that psilocybin accelerates neural connection formation and acts differently in stressed versus healthy brains. Crucially, the study found that structural brain changes can occur separately from hallucinogenic effects, opening paths to safer therapeutics for depression and PTSD. Giulio Prisco 2 min read
