- The MICrONS Project ()
An unprecedented dataset of high resolution anatomical images of individual cells in mouse visual cortex, mapped on to their responses. This integrated view of function and structure lays a foundation for discovering the computational bases of cortical circuits. A cubic millimetre might not sound like much — roughly the size of a grain of sand […]

Scientists have found a way to help the brain learn faster using AI to guide brain activity directly. Researchers from the University of Rochester, Yale, and Princeton have developed a method that uses real-time brain scans and neurofeedback to help the brain learn new things without any effort, practice, or study. It’s like giving your […]
- The only tool against dangerous evolution is cryonics ()
The only tool against dangerous evolution is cryonics and will be always cryonics. Pollution evolution, virus evolution, bacterial evolution, anti-aging/young age evolution, food evolution and AI evolution risks will always be there and cryonics is the only best tool for that.

- New study shows ‘dancing molecules’ can regenerate cartilage in 3 days ()
Cartilage cells generate more protein components (collagen II and aggrecan) for regeneration when treated with fast-moving dancing molecules (left) compared to slower moving molecules. Credit: Stupp Research Group/Northwestern University In November 2021, Northwestern University researchers introduced an injectable new therapy, which harnessed fast-moving “dancing molecules,” to repair tissues and reverse paralysis after severe spinal cord […]

- 5 unsolved mysteries about the brain ()
Can we understand our own brains? We have a long way to go, neuroscientists say. If you ask Christof Koch, Ph.D., Chief Scientist and President of the Allen Institute for Brain Science, how close we are to understanding our own brains, he scoffs. “We don’t even understand the brain of a worm,” Koch said. The […]
- A potential active ingredient for nerve regeneration ()
Nerve fibers (axons) transmit brain and spinal cord signals through nerves to target muscles or skin, and vice versa. Damage to these fibers thus leads to a disruption of connections and, consequently, to paralysis or numbness. The chances of recovery depend mainly on the speed at which the severed fibers regenerate as this process is […]
- UCLA-led team finds a stem-cell derived mechanism that could lead to regenerative therapies for heart damage ()
A UCLA-led team has identified an essential internal control mechanism that can promote the maturation of human stem cell-derived heart muscle cells, offering a deeper understanding of how heart muscle cells develop from their immature fetal stage to their mature adult form. The findings, published in the peer-reviewed journal Circulation, could lead to new therapies […]
- Frozen in Time: Examining the Latest Frontiers in Cryopreservation Technology ()
Cryopreservation has underpinned biomedical research for many decades – and offers many exciting new opportunities ahead, including the long-term storage of cells, tissues and organs for therapeutic applications. “Cryopreservation is the preservation of biological materials at very low temperatures,” describes Dr. Roman Bauer, a lecturer at the University of Surrey who is developing computational and […]

- Scientific speculation ()
Scientific speculation refers to ideas or concepts that are proposed in the scientific domain but lack solid empirical evidence or support. It is a form of speculative thinking based on logical reasoning, theoretical extrapolations, or hypotheses that have not yet been confirmed or experimentally verified. In some cases, scientific speculation can serve as a starting […]

Set-up: In a world that’s otherwise the same, an anthropomorphic God comes to you with a gun and a check, and offers you the following deal, should you accept it. (God can perfectly see the future and is honest.) Dilemma: God will give you a check of X USD if you accept to be immediately […]
- Astronauts that hibernate on long spaceflights is not just for sci-fi. We could test it in 10 years. ()
“We need to fine tune everything before we can apply it to humans. But I would say that 10 years is a realistic timeline.” The first hibernation studies with human subjects could be feasible within a decade, a European Space Agency (ESA) researcher thinks. Such experiments would pave the way for a science-fiction-like approach to […]
