NASA’s Expedition 73: Astronauts Study Brain, Balance, and Immunity on ISS
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station are conducting key health experiments as part of Expedition 73, focusing on how the brain and immune system adapt to microgravity. Crew members exercise to counter muscle and bone loss, complete cognitive tests, and practice emergency medical drills. Using virtual-reality equipment, they study balan...

People Adapt to Extra Robotic Thumb in Days in Fascinating Body Augmentation Study
A new research has shown that the human brain can adapt to body augmentation much faster than expected. The study conducted by University College London (UCL) and the University of Oxford researchers attached an artificial robotic thumb to the hands of the participants who were able to perform functions with it in a matter of days.

Our Brain Is 'Pre-Adapted' To Face Any Situation: Study
Human and non-human primates can learn an astonishing variety of novel behaviours that could not have been directly anticipated by evolution. This ability to cope with new situations is due to the "pre-adapted" nature of the primate brain, says a study.
