Researchers found gut bacteria in brain implants, potentially causing inflammation and reducing device function. The study suggests that medical implants may breach the blood-brain barrier, allowing microbes to enter.

Explore the evolution of brain–computer interface (BCI) technology, including its fundamental limitations and future prospects.

The quantum properties of ultra-thin semiconductors, which trap electrons in two dimensions, can be used to sense the biological electrical activity of living cells with high speed and resolution.

The FDA has approved adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) for Parkinson’s disease, marking a breakthrough in treatment. This therapy continuously monitors brain activity and delivers targeted stimulation using fast and slow algorithms.

Researchers found that random brain fluctuations actually strengthen memory by stabilizing neural activity over time. The study challenges the belief that noise weakens cognition, offering insights for AI and potential treatments for memory disorders

A study reveals brain biomarkers PAF and CME can predict pain sensitivity and chronic pain risk with 88% accuracy. The findings could enable personalized treatment and prevent transitions from acute to chronic pain.
