Scanning people's brains when watching videos, researchers found both neural and behavioral responses to the content could predict how long others would watch the same video on the internet. Read More
Researchers have distinguished two different molecular pathways responsible for addiction and the prosocial feelings generated by MDMA. The findings could lead to novel treatments for psychiatric disorders marked by withdrawal and social awkwardness. Read More
Intrusive T cells have been discovered in the brain's neurogenic niches of older mice and humans. Findings suggest the T cells impair neurogenesis. Read More
A newly designed set of 'smart glasses' could help to correct the vision of millions of people with age-related presbyopia. The autofocals work much like the eyes and include eye tracking sensors which enable to triangulate where a person is looking and determine the precise distance of the object. Read More
Having identified a new, simpler way to study neural activity, researchers believe they are on track to creating a compact, low power and potentially wireless brain sensor that could make thought-controlled prosthetic limbs ubiquitous. Read More
People have more control over how their emotions are influenced by others than previously thought. Researchers found people who wanted to stay calm when presented with upsetting stimuli remained unfazed by angry emotions expressed by others. However, when they wanted to feel angry, they were more highly influenced by others who were angry. Read More

··7 min readThe newly developed HeadXNet deep learning system can accurately detect clinically significant aneurysms from patients' brain scans. The tool could improve diagnostics and care for those experiencing aneurysms. Read More
Stanford Doggo, a student-designed dog-like robot, can perform a variety of acrobatic tricks and traverse challenging environments. The student investors have provided construction plans and parts lists online for DIY scientists who wish to build their own version of the robopup. Read More
Blocking VCAM1 increased neurogenesis, and reduced microglia reactivity in the hippocampus of older mice. Read More
Adults who played Pokemon video games as children had preferential activation in the visual system for Pokemon character, researchers report. The finding shed light on the development of the visual system and categorization in the brain. Read More
In children with autism, the sound of their mom's voice creates a weaker brain response than in their peers not on the autism spectrum, a new study reports. Read More
