Neuralink’s second patient is using his brain implant to design 3D objects. Here’s how it works

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, computing, neuroscience

Neuralink says it has successfully implanted another brain chip in a human patient.

According to a study update shared by the company, the patient, identified by his first name, Alex, has been improving his ability to play video games and has started learning how to use design software to create 3D objects.

The company said the procedure “went well,” and Alex’s recovery “has been smooth.”

Autism and Brain Growth Patterns Unraveled by Yale Scientists

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

A Yale-led study reveals that two types of neurodevelopmental abnormalities emerging early in brain development are linked to autism, with these differences influenced by brain size.

By using brain organoids derived from autistic children’s stem cells, researchers uncovered distinct neural growth patterns, potentially guiding personalized treatments and diagnoses.

Early Brain Development and Autism.

Scientists Discover “Spatial Grammar” in DNA: Breakthrough Could Rewrite Genetics Textbooks

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, genetics

Researchers have discovered a “spatial grammar” in DNA that redefines the role of transcription factors in gene regulation, influencing our understanding of genetic variations and disease.

A recently uncovered code within DNA, referred to as “spatial grammar,” may unlock the secret to how gene activity is encoded in the human genome.

This breakthrough finding, identified by researchers at Washington State University and the University of California, San Diego and published in Nature, revealed a long-postulated hidden spatial grammar embedded in DNA. The research could reshape scientists’ understanding of gene regulation and how genetic variations may influence gene expression in development or disease.
