  • [New] Some benign brain tumours do not cause problems and may not require treatment, while others come with a high mortality risk within a few years if they become cancerous. Healthline Media
  • 98% of people could improve how they look after their brain health and a study released this week has found that a simple supplement could be beneficial in preventing the onset of dementia thanks to brain-health properties. HuffPost UK
  • Neuralink's technology will mainly work through an implant called the Link - a device about the size of five stacked coins that is placed inside the human brain through invasive surgery. The National
  • Inorganic-biomaterial / NSC-based neural constructs provide a new way of thinking and a new approach to promoting tissue regeneration from the point of view of neural modulation, which will shed light on biomaterials design for regenerative medicine. OUP Academic
  • 3D bioprinting of inorganic-biomaterial / NSC-based neural constructs is expected to be a new concept for promoting multiple tissue regeneration with functional recovery from the perspective of neural induction. OUP Academic
  • In 2024, we can anticipate breakthroughs in fields like quantum computing, biotechnology, brain-computer interfaces, and artificial intelligence that push the boundaries of what was once deemed possible. Dr Mark van Rijmenam, CSP | Strategic Futurist Speaker
  • The recent news that Elon Musk's Neuralink project has successfully implanted a brain-computer interface into a human subject's brain gives an indication of the types of technologies we can expect to see in the short and long-term future. Innovation in Business
  • With the introduction of Intel Core Ultra processors with Intel vPro and the new integrated multi-processor package with central processing unit (CPU), graphics processing unit (GPU) and neural processing unit, a day in the life of a hybrid worker will be more productive, secure and collaborative. Dell
  • Researchers are studying biomarkers (biological signs of disease found in brain images, cerebrospinal fluid, and blood) to detect early changes in the brains of people with MCI and in cognitively normal people who may be at greater risk for Alzheimer's. National Institute on Aging
  • CAA could increase the risk of microbleeds that develop in the brains of some people with Alzheimer's who are treated with antibodies to remove amyloid. Scientific American
  • With dedicated AI acceleration capability spread across the central processing unit (CPU), graphics processing unit (GPU) and the new neural processing unit, Intel Core Ultra-powered commercial PCs will support the apps you use every day and unlock an endless new wave of AI experiences. Edge AI and Vision Alliance
  • Ark sees opportunities within the AI sector through neural networks, which it believes could create tens of trillion dollars of value and be more momentous than the internet. Portfolio Adviser
  • Diabetic patients who take anti-diabetic drugs - known as glitazones - long term had a lower risk of primary and secondary brain cancer compared with diabetic patients on other medications, new research led by the University of Bristol has found. University of Bristol
  • New research by the University of Sussex could help to increase life expectancy and improve treatment for an aggressive brain cancer, which impacts thousands of people every year in the UK, and hundreds of thousands worldwide. ScienceDaily
  • The relationship between food and brain health is already being explored, and could soon help accelerate the development of new food products that promote mental wellbeing. FoodNavigator.com
  • Neuralink, with the majority ownership of Elon Musk, develops devices that it hopes can help individuals with severe brain damage or physical disabilities. Aragon Research
  • Scientists at Tsinghua University in China have made a big breakthrough in neural technology by creating the Neural Electronic Opportunity, a wireless brain-computer interface implant. BOL NEWS
  • UK scientists are to carry out studies on a new breakthrough blood test which could be used to detect certain types of brain cancer. Sky News
  • Cedars-Sinai will explore in-space production of stem cells into heart, brain, and blood tissues in support of regenerative medicine uses on Earth. NASA
  • Repeated sessions might lead to longer-term changes in brain cells, enhancing their activity levels and potentially affecting multiple brain regions associated with depression. University of East London
  • Researchers are transplanting dopaminergic stem cells into the brains of patients with moderate Parkinson's disease and are expected to have preliminary results by 2024. Breaking Latest News
