Researchers from Harvard University have grown brain tissue from stem cells, maintaining its activity for six years. The findings revealed internal "biological clocks" within nerve cells, offering new avenues for studying autism and schizophrenia.

What is the connection between a Lilliputian mushroom, brain syndromes, and the dish served to former US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen? Is the promising company Karyopharm, which develops cancer treatments, heading toward insolvency? And what will the Israeli company Remepy do with the 36 million dollars it raised? This week in biomed.

The adult brain may possess a greater capacity for repair than previously thought. In a new study published Wednesday, researchers from the University of Zurich identified special cells in mice that mobilize following brain injury to restore damaged tissue.

A large-scale international study found that areas of sensitivity to tickling on the human body are identical across different cultures, shattering centuries-old theories. An artificial intelligence model predicted the most ticklish areas with an accuracy of nearly 100%. Researchers: "This is not just a reaction to touch, but an evolutionary mechanism for strengthening social bonds."

We tend to think that a forgotten memory is like a file permanently deleted from a computer, but scientists have discovered that reality is much more complex. A new study published in the scientific journal Nature Neuroscience shows that in fruit flies, memories we thought had disappeared completely actually remain hidden deep in the brain, ready to come to life as soon as we receive the right...

The era of digital screens has led to an unprecedented decline in handwriting. However, neuroscience proves that writing by hand stimulates extensive brain activity that does not occur when typing digitally.
