After reviewing data from nearly 200 studies and 30 million cells, researchers created a human cell atlas with genetic insight about how the neocortex, or outer layers of the brain, forms during development. Learn more here: hopkinsmedicine.org/news/newsroom/…

NEW DETAILS 🚨: NASA astronaut Mike Fincke who suffered a mysterious ‘medical emergency’ on the ISS earlier this year was prepping for a spacewalk when he suddenly lost the ability to speak It lasted about 20 minutes and then he was completely fine Doctors have ruled out a stroke/heart attack but still have no explanation

Johns Hopkins researchers have been awarded $15M from the @NIH to develop a new platform for studying neurological diseases. By combining brain organoids, advanced sensors, and AI, the project aims to improve drug discovery and reduce reliance on animal testing. bit.ly/4diyKJB

The neurodegenerative condition chronic traumatic encephalopathy appears to be driven by damage to the blood-brain barrier due to repetitive head injuries, like those that occur in boxing. This suggests that drugs that strengthen this barrier could ... #Echobox=1774261590" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">newscientist.com/article/251975…

Chuck was an icon. I am grateful that I was able to work with him in multiple ways over the years, from promoting fitness to sharing the screen together. He was a badass, in real life and in Hollywood. His legend will be with us forever. My thoughts are with his family.

The blood–brain barrier can be damaged and leaky decades after an athlete retires from contact sport. This leakiness seems to trigger a lasting immune response that is closely tied to cognitive decline go.nature.com/40ANaNB

Neuralink is making big upgrades to the N1 brain implant It still runs 1,024 electrodes, but the architecture has evolved from patient feedback: • New setup: 128 ultra‑thin threads (8 electrodes each) Original setup: 64 threads (16 electrodes each) • The speed breakthrough: thread insertion time cut from ~17 seconds to ~1.5 seconds per thread This redesign comes straight from real patient data and early trial feedback, enabling higher precision, richer neural signals, and better long‑term stability Neuralink is becoming a real second chance for many lives

“We’ve thought about Alzheimer’s disease as a brain-only problem, and the field has largely shifted now to recognize that brain health is dynamic and interconnected across almost every single organ system.” - BrightFocus Foundation’s Dr. Sharyn Rossi These connections represent new opportunities for Alzheimer’s risk reduction and intervention. BrightFocus was thrilled to join the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Annual Meeting 2025, the world’s largest gathering of neuroscientists dedicated to understanding the brain and nervous system.
