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.

Your Neurons Might Be 'Napping' While You're Awake, Says New ADHD Brain Study
A new study published in J Neuroscience suggests that adults with ADHD tend to experience sleep-like brain activity even while they are fully awake. Here are why these findings matter and what you need to know about ADHD treatment and diagnosis.

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...

Scientists Map Brain Activity Across 95% of the Mammalian Brain in Landmark Study
In a historic collaboration, scientists created the first comprehensive mammalian brain activity map. The project, led by the International Brain Laboratory, analyzed data from 600,000 cells across 139 mice. Findings revealed that decision-making and memory are spread across the brain, not confined to specific regions as previously believed.

Brain’s Built-In Signal Threshold Helps Differentiate Imagination from Reality
A new study reveals that the brain relies on signal strength in the fusiform gyrus to decide whether visuals are real or imagined. This “reality threshold” may help explain how imagination can influence perception and sheds light on disorders like schizophrenia. Researchers believe this mechanism could be central to understanding hallucinations...

What Happens in Your Brain When You Read? New Study Maps the Reading Mind
A new brain study reveals how we process language when reading silently or aloud. It uncovers distinct neural responses for letters, words, and pseudo-words, offering groundbreaking insight into how the brain manages language—and paving the way for improved approaches to reading disorders like dyslexia.

How The Brain Can Miraculously Switch Off Pain
In World War II, the physician Henry Beecher observed that some of his soldier patients, despite being injured on the battlefield, required no strong painkillers to manage their pain. In some cases, the injury was as severe as losing part of a limb.

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...
