Bacteria and Viruses Join Forces in New Cancer-Killing Therapy

Researchers have developed CAPPSID, a novel cancer therapy that teams bacteria and viruses to infiltrate and destroy tumors. The system hides an oncolytic virus inside Salmonella typhimurium, which naturally migrates into tumors, shielding the virus from immune detection.

Brain Signature Reveals How We Consciously Experience Emotional Intensity

Researchers have identified a distinct brain signature linked to the conscious experience of emotional intensity. By combining AI modeling, advanced brain imaging, and realistic experimental scenarios, they measured arousal from a wide range of emotional contexts while separating it from involuntary bodily responses.

The Brain Merges Sight And Sound For Faster, Smarter Decisions

New research reveals how the brain merges visual and auditory information to make quicker, more accurate decisions. Using EEG, scientists found that auditory and visual decision processes start independently but ultimately combine in the motor system, enabling faster reaction times.

Gut Neurons Direct Immune Healing After Inflammation

Researchers have discovered that neurons in the gut play a direct role in guiding immune healing after inflammation by producing a molecule called adrenomedullin 2 (ADM2). This molecule stimulates group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) to release amphiregulin, a tissue-repairing factor, offering protection in models of inflammatory bowel disease.

First “Microwave Brain” Chip Merges Ultrafast Data and Wireless Signals

Researchers have built the first “microwave brain” chip capable of processing both ultrafast data and wireless communication signals at once. By harnessing analog, nonlinear microwave physics instead of conventional digital circuitry, the chip can decode radio signals, track radar targets, and classify high-speed data streams in real time.

Brain Circuit Model Reveals How Striatum Shapes Everyday Decisions

Researchers have developed a computational framework that maps how the striosomal compartment of the striatum governs everyday decision-making. By integrating biology, decision theory, and mathematical modeling, the study reveals that different levels of striosomal activity can push individuals toward impulsive, balanced, or overly complex decisions.

Single Gene Edit Transfers Behaviors Across Species

Scientists in Japan have used genetic engineering to make a species of fruit fly perform a courtship ritual it had never done before. By turning on the “fruitless” gene in insulin-producing neurons, they rewired the brains of Drosophila melanogaster to offer regurgitated food to potential mates—a behavior seen in a different species, D. subobscura.

“Mind-Reading” Tech Decodes Inner Speech With Up to 74% Accuracy

Scientists have, for the first time, decoded inner speech—silent thoughts of words—on command using brain-computer interface technology, achieving up to 74% accuracy. By recording neural activity from participants with severe paralysis, the team found that inner speech and attempted speech share overlapping brain activity patterns, though inner speech signals are weaker.

Could Restoring Lithium Levels Help Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease?

A decade-long investigation has revealed that natural lithium in the brain helps shield against Alzheimer’s disease by maintaining healthy function across all major brain cell types. Researchers found that lithium loss is one of the earliest brain changes in Alzheimer’s, often occurring before noticeable symptoms.

Microbes in the Womb and at Birth Help Sculpt the Newborn Brain

New research reveals that microbes play a crucial role in shaping a newborn’s brain both before and after birth. Using a mouse model, scientists showed that the absence of maternal microbes during pregnancy led to fewer neurons in the PVN—a brain region essential for stress, social behavior, and body regulation—regardless of whether the newborn later received microbial exposure.

Genetic Switch May Be Key to Human Brain’s Unique Abilities

Researchers have identified a genetic region, HAR123, that may help explain what makes the human brain unique. Acting as a transcriptional enhancer, HAR123 influences the development of neural progenitor cells, which give rise to neurons and glial cells, and plays a role in determining their ratio.
