A machine-learning analysis of sleep EEG data from 7,105 adults found that each 10-year gap between brain age and chronological age raises dementia risk by 39%.

An AAV9 gene-regulation therapy delivered durable, dose-dependent seizure control and early signs of neurodevelopmental rescue through 52 weeks, just as the pivotal study begins dosing.

CorTec's implantable Brain Interchange system received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation on April 8 and TAP acceptance on April 23, marking the first BCI worldwide designated for stroke motor rehabilitation.

Researchers at Northwestern University have used aerosol jet printing to create flexible artificial neurons that generate biologically realistic signals and directly activate living neural tissue.

University of Illinois researchers publish Connectome-seq in Nature Methods, using RNA barcodes to map over 1,000 neurons at single-synapse resolution and uncover previously unknown connectivity patterns in the mouse brain.

MRI imaging and tissue analysis reveal that the middle meningeal artery hosts an organized lymphatic network responsible for brain waste removal, with implications for Alzheimer's research.

A Nature Neuroscience study from the Montreal Neurological Institute constructs the first whole-brain atlas of 14 neuropeptide families, uncovering a cortical-subcortical gradient and evidence that neuropeptide refinement coincided with the evolutionary emergence of the neocortex.

A decade after the first lab-grown brain models, organoid research is crossing from laboratory curiosity to clinical reality, prompting calls for governance frameworks to match the pace of science.

Epia Neuro emerged from stealth on April 2 with a read/write BCI platform that decodes neural intent and drives a grip-assist prosthetic, targeting first-in-human trials at Lenox Hill Hospital later this year.

Neuralink's VOICE trial decoded silent neural signals from an ALS patient's brain into synthesized speech as the company's BCI program scales to 21 participants worldwide.

A Chinese research team has shown that timed doses of 3'-deoxyadenosine can amplify circadian rhythms in one hypothalamic nucleus, roll back epigenetic age, and extend lifespan in aged male mice.

A Nature study identifies Parabacteroides goldsteinii as a driver of cognitive decline in aging mice and shows that stimulating the vagus nerve with GLP-1 receptor agonists restores memory to youthful levels.
