Researchers have developed NONOS, a deep learning tool that separates rhythmic brain activity from background signals without losing time detail. It can be used for Parkinson's disease monitoring and could improve personalized deep brain stimulation therapy.

Researchers at The Rockefeller University have rebuilt a three-photon microscope from the ground up, allowing them to watch the activity of individual neurons up to about 2.1 millimeters deep in the brains of living mice, without surgically removing the tissue above. The new platform, called TrUDI, opens deep brain regions such as the hippocampus and striatum to optical imaging while staying within safe heating limits.

Researchers at KAIST and Microsoft Research Asia developed Neural Value Alignment, a system that reads EEG signals in real time to detect when AI misunderstands human intent. By distinguishing between reward prediction error and state prediction error, the technology enables machines to self-correct without explicit verbal feedback, pointing toward more natural human-AI collaboration.

An implantable neural chip let researchers watch a memory-related neurotransmitter rise and fall in minipig brains after a common Alzheimer's treatment.

Three leading scientists recently spelled out why AI is unlikely to be or become conscious. I share their caution but disagree with their conclusions about AI consciousness and moral consideration. I think we should remain open to strange forms of consciousness.

The very fact that this experiment has been tried and even produced some very preliminary but essentially encouraging results seems significant and worth celebrating.

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.

Researchers compare nearly one million brain-cell profiles across humans, macaques and mice, uncovering evolutionary differences in myelin-producing cells linked to aging and neurological disease.
