Inflammatory Brain Cells Driving Progressive MS Discovered

Researchers have identified a rare type of brain cell that may drive the chronic inflammation and neurodegeneration seen in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). These cells, called disease-associated radial glia-like (DARG) cells, appear six times more often in patients with progressive MS than in healthy individuals.

Human Brain-on-a-Chip Reveals How Inflammation Breaks the Mind

Researchers have developed brain-on-a-chip technology that uses human tissue to model how the brain’s protective barrier breaks down during inflammation and disease. The system replicates the blood-brain barrier, showing how cytokine storms and leaked blood proteins can trigger harmful changes in brain cells.

AI Builds the Most Detailed Map of the Mouse Brain Yet

Researchers have created one of the most detailed maps of the mouse brain ever made, using artificial intelligence to reveal 1,300 distinct regions and subregions. The AI model, called CellTransformer, identified new brain areas that had never been charted before, providing an unprecedented view of brain organization.

Hidden Early Signs of Diabetic Blindness Revealed

Scientists have developed a powerful new imaging method that reveals how immune cells in the eye behave long before visible damage occurs in diabetic retinopathy. Using a combination of a head-fixation device, contact lenses, and a custom objective lens, researchers were able to capture live, high-resolution images of microglia activity in diabetic mice.

Ultrasound Breakthrough Targets Multiple Brain Networks at Once

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking ultrasound device that can stimulate several precise points in the brain at the same time, marking a leap forward in non-invasive neuromodulation. Unlike earlier single-spot approaches, this technology uses lower-intensity ultrasound pulses that reduce risks of overheating and uncontrolled brain excitation.

From Cancer to Alzheimer’s: Decoding RNA-Protein Signals

Scientists have created a breakthrough technology that reveals the entire network of RNA-protein interactions in human cells, offering new insights into how diseases develop. The method freezes and tags RNAs and proteins as they touch, turning them into unique DNA barcodes that can be decoded with sequencing.

Brain-Inspired Chip Learns and Adapts Like Neurons, Cuts Energy Use

Scientists have developed a brain-inspired semiconductor that can adjust its responses based on experience, much like human neurons do through “intrinsic plasticity.” Called the “Frequency Switching Neuristor,” the device combines two types of memristors to regulate spiking frequency, enabling it to learn and adapt autonomously.

Eye Movements Reveal Hidden Memories Beyond What People Report

A new study demonstrated that eye movements can serve as a powerful tool for detecting memory, even when people report not remembering. In experiments, participants rewatched animation clips with surprising events, and their gaze naturally shifted toward the spot of the surprise, indicating stored memory.

Octopus Arms Inspire Next-Gen Robots with Unmatched Flexibility

Researchers have compiled the first complete catalog of octopus arm movements from 25 wild octopuses filmed in their natural habitats. The study revealed 12 types of arm motions, including elongation, shortening, bending, and probing, with specific regions of the arm specialized for certain actions.

Biofeedback Speeds Up Speech Therapy for Struggling Kids

A large-scale clinical trial tested biofeedback-based therapy for children with residual speech sound disorder, a condition where pronunciation errors persist past age eight. Biofeedback methods—like ultrasound imaging or acoustic displays—gave children visual cues to adjust their tongue movements, accelerating progress with difficult sounds such as “r.”

Prosthetic Hand Restores Real Sense of Touch

A next-generation neuroprosthetic hand that restores a sense of touch is moving into a pivotal home-use clinical trial. The “iSens” system uses implanted electrodes to read muscle intent and stimulate nerves, relaying fingertip sensations to the brain so the prosthesis feels embodied.
