Scientists Discover The Brain Starts Life 'Too Full' And Then Trims Itself Down
A new study from Austrian researchers suggests the brain begins life with an overly dense and disorganised network of connections, which is then gradually pruned and refined as the animal matures, challenging the long-held idea that the brain is a blank slate at birth.

Calcium In Immune Cells May Trigger Anxiety Behaviours, Study Suggests
A study in mice links calcium signalling in microglia, the brain's immune cells, to anxiety and obsessive compulsive behaviours, offering new treatment insights.

Maternal Perinatal Depression Increases Risk Of Autism In Toddlers, Finds Study
A recent study found that maternal perinatal depression increases the risk of autistic-related traits in toddlers, with a particularly strong impact on girls.

Immune Cells In Gut Help Spread Parkinsons Disease To Brain: Study
A groundbreaking Nature study from University College London reveals how gut immune cells (macrophages) help toxic proteins spread Parkinsons disease from the gut to the brain.

Supercomputer Builds One Of The Most Realistic Virtual Brains Ever Created
Scientists have built an ultra-detailed virtual mouse brain using a supercomputer, offering a powerful new tool for studying brain function and diseases like Alzheimer's.

Scientists Build One of the Most Detailed Digital Simulations of the Mouse Cortex Using Japan’s Fugaku Supercomputer
Researchers from the Allen Institute and Japan’s University of Electro-Communications have built one of the most detailed mouse cortex simulations ever created. Using Japan’s Fugaku supercomputer, the team modeled around 10 million neurons and 26 billion synapses, recreating realistic structure and activity. The virtual cortex offers a new plat...

Pak Claims Pending Bi-Lateral Issues Settled, Bangladesh Disagrees
Pakistan and Bangladesh have signed a visa exemption agreement for holders of official and diplomatic passports - a first since East Pakistan was liberated and Bangladesh was formed in 1971.

Mouse-To-Mouse? Mice May Give 'First Aid' To Unconscious Mates
The rodent was spotted pulling the tongue of its mate, so as to provide mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

MIT’s CuRVE Technique Achieves Uniform Protein Labeling in Intact Tissues
A breakthrough in protein labeling has been introduced by MIT scientists, addressing challenges in studying intact tissues. Their method, CuRVE, allows antibodies to evenly distribute without damaging structure. The approach, combined with stochastic electrotransport, ensures rapid and uniform protein tagging. Tests on various tissues, including mo...

First Mouse with Two Fathers Thrives into Adulthood, Marking New Scientific Milestone
Scientists have achieved a major milestone by creating a bi-paternal mouse, marking progress in stem cell science and reproductive biology. By modifying imprinting genes, researchers overcame previous barriers to unisexual mammalian reproduction. While only a small percentage of the engineered embryos survived to birth, the research demonstrates th...
