Scientists have developed a wireless device that uses light to send information directly to the brain — and it could mean giving amputees feeling in prosthetic limbs.
The soft, flexible device sits under the scalp but on top of the skull, where it delivers precise patterns of light through the bone to activate brain cells called neurons.
It represents a significant step forward in building devices that can interface with the brain without the need for surgery, burdensome wires or bulky external hardware.
In experiments, scientists used the device’s tiny, patterned bursts of light to activate specific groups of neurons deep inside the brains of mice.
The mice quickly learned to interpret these patterns as meaningful signals, which they could recognise and use.
Even without touch, sight or sound involved, the animals received information to make decisions and successfully completed behavioural tasks.
The technology has immense potential for various therapeutic applications.
They include giving sensory feedback for prosthetic limbs.
The device could also deliver artificial stimuli for future vision or hearing prostheses and help as a painkiller without the need of drugs.
The team from the USA’s Northwestern University near Chicago says it may also help with rehabilitation after a stroke or injury and even control robotic limbs.

Picture MUST credit: MIT
A new therapeutic brain implant to treat conditions like Alzheimers and tumours, without the need for surgery has been created by researchers .
It consists of microscopic wireless electronic devices that travel through blood and implant in target brain regions, where they provide electrical stimulation.
And they enter the body using a simple injection.
It is a revolutionary platform to treat a vast array of neurological diseases and mental illnesses.
It's called circulatronics with the tech centred around using targeted electrical stimulation aimed at the brain for various conditions.
In recent years, this approach has been applied to treating depression, Alzheimer’s disease, Multiple sclerosis, and brain tumours.
Normally surgery is needed to embed electrodes into the brain that introduces the risk of infection and possible damage to brain tissue.
The new integrated technology involves sub-cellular sized wireless electronic devices that can be delivered to the brain using a jab in the arm.
Once these tiny chips have been injected, they can autonomously implant themselves on target regions in the brain, and power themselves as they deliver electrical stimulation to the affected areas.
Senior author Deblina Sarkar at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the USA collaborated on the work with other researchers and teams from two other US institutions, Wellesley College, and Harvard University.

Picture MUST credit: Radiological Society of North America (RSNA)
Scientists have revealed just how a fanatical football fan’s brain works establishing extreme emotional highs and lows depending on results and performance.
Every fan's team scores, wins or loses, extreme activity in the brain may dictate what you do next, a new study reveals.
In experiments, scientists scanned the brains of fans to see how blood flow changed as they watched their team win or lose.
The experts found that the sight of their team scoring lit up the brain region associated with reward, releasing pleasurable chemicals like dopamine.
But when their team lost, a different area of the brain involved in introspection was triggered, helping them make sense of what has just happened.
In other words, we feel good when we watch our team score, but when we see our team's rivals put one past us, we attempt to rationalise it.
Biologist Francisco Zamorano who led the study for Chile’s Universidad San Sebastián said: “Rivalry rapidly reconfigures the brain’s valuation–control balance within seconds.
“With significant victory, the reward circuitry in the brain is amplified relative to non-rival wins, whereas in significant defeat the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex which plays an important role in cognitive control—shows paradoxical suppression of control signals.”
OPS:MRI results showed that brain activity changed when the fan’s team succeeded or failed. This image reveals the effect of significant defeat on the brain where a network called the salience network - responsible for switching between internal and external thinking - is deactivated

A tiny laser-powered brain implant smaller than a grain of salt that can wirelessly transmit brain activity data for more than a year has been developed by researchers.
It is powered by red and infrared laser beams that pass harmlessly through brain tissue.
The implant called MOTE, transmits data back using tiny pulses of the infrared light, which encode the brain’s electrical signals.
The team behind it says it opens new possibilities for brain monitoring, bio-integrated sensing and other applications
It could make it possible to collect electrical recordings from the brain during MRI scans, not feasible with current implants.
The technology could also be adapted for use in other tissues, such as the spinal cord, and even paired with future innovations like electronics embedded in artificial skull plates.
The researchers at the USA’s Cornell University say they have proved that microelectronic systems can function at an unprecedentedly small scale.
The MOTE is about 70 microns wide, about the width of a human hair, and 300 microns long
OPS: The MOTE neural implant developed at Cornell rests on a grain of salt.

Scientists have developed a brain test predicts a person’s ability to achieve orgasm
So far the study has only targeted patients taking antidepressants.
There is no test for who might experience sexual problems during treatment for depression.
But the new discovery may help people to choose antidepressants which allow them to maintain or regain an active sex life.
The ability of patients taking antidepressants to have an erection or to orgasm is related to the levels of serotonin in the brain.
A range called SSRI , which stands for Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor, which includes Prozac, are often associated with sexual side-effects.
There has previously been no way of predicting these side effects in advance.
Difficulty reaching orgasm is a common side effect, as are reduced desire and difficulty maintaining an erection.
These side effects can affect up to 70% of patients taking SSRI medications and often leading to people stopping treatment.
A team in Denmark, studied 90 people who had been diagnosed with depression.
They measured brain serotonin activity using a special EEG test called LDAEP or Loudness Dependence of Auditory Evoked Potentials.
It is like a hearing test but reveals how the brain processes sound.
It also reveals details of serotonin levels in the brain - the lower the LDAEP, the higher the serotonin activity.
OPS: A researcher wearing the high-density headset for LDAEP. The headset comprises 256 electrodes, plus earphones; these can give sound tones ranging from around 60dB (which is as loud as a conversation) to 100dB (as loud as a loud hairdryer).

Une interface cerveau-ordinateur a permis à un homme paralysé de piloter un drone virtuel en utilisant uniquement ses pensées
Pictures must credit: Willsey et al / Stanford University A computer brain interface has allowed a man with paralysis to fly a virtual drone using only his thoughts. Researchers said the implant gave the 69-year-old patient an unprecedented level of control over a virtual quadcopter—just by thinking about moving his unresponsive fingers. The study by a team at the USA’s Stanford University was inspired by the participant’s own request after he said controlling the virtual object was like playing a musical instrument. The technology divided the man’s hand into three parts: the thumb and two pairs of fingers — index and middle, ring and small. Each could move both vertically and horizontally. As the patient thought about moving the three groups, at times simultaneously, the virtual quadcopter drone responded, manoeuvring through a virtual obstacle course. A spokesperson said: “It’s an exciting next step in providing those with paralysis the chance to enjoy games with friends while also demonstrating the potential for performing remote work.”

Une interface cerveau-ordinateur a permis à un homme paralysé de piloter un drone virtuel en utilisant uniquement ses pensées
Pictures must credit: Willsey et al / Stanford University A computer brain interface has allowed a man with paralysis to fly a virtual drone using only his thoughts. Researchers said the implant gave the 69-year-old patient an unprecedented level of control over a virtual quadcopter—just by thinking about moving his unresponsive fingers. The study by a team at the USA’s Stanford University was inspired by the participant’s own request after he said controlling the virtual object was like playing a musical instrument. The technology divided the man’s hand into three parts: the thumb and two pairs of fingers — index and middle, ring and small. Each could move both vertically and horizontally. As the patient thought about moving the three groups, at times simultaneously, the virtual quadcopter drone responded, manoeuvring through a virtual obstacle course. A spokesperson said: “It’s an exciting next step in providing those with paralysis the chance to enjoy games with friends while also demonstrating the potential for performing remote work.”

Une découverte de fossile pourrait transformer notre compréhension de l’évolution du cerveau des oiseaux
Picture MUST credit: Stephanie Abramowicz A fossil discovery could transform our understanding of how the unique brains and intelligence of modern birds evolved, one of the most enduring mysteries of vertebrate evolution. Researchers have identified a remarkably well-preserved fossil bird, roughly the size of a starling. from the Mesozoic Era . This period lasted from 252 million to 66 million years ago when an asteroid strikes is believed to have prompted the extinction of the dinosaurs. The complete skull has been preserved almost intact:, a rarity for any fossil bird, but particularly for one so ancient, making this one of the most significant finds of its kind. The three-dimensional preservation allowed the researchers, led by the UK’s University of Cambridge and the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum in the USA, to digitally reconstruct the brain of the bird, which they have named Navaornis hestiae. Navaornis lived approximately 80 million years ago in what is now Brazil. The researchers say their discovery could be a sort of ‘Rosetta Stone’ for determining the evolutionary origins of the modern avian brain. The fossil fills a 70-million-year gap in our understanding of how the brains of birds evolved: between the 150-million-year-old Archaeopteryx, the earliest known bird-like dinosaur, and birds living today.

Researchers study brain activity of surgeons for signs of cognitive overload
Team at Imperial College London say techniques could be used to flag warning signs during surgery.
It is a high-stakes scenario for any surgeon: a 65-year-old male patient with a high BMI and a heart condition is undergoing emergency surgery for a perforated appendix.
This kind of drama routinely plays out in operating theatres, but in this case trainee surgeon Mary Goble is being put through her paces by a team of researchers at Imperial College London who are studying what goes on inside the brains of surgeons as they perform life-or-death procedures.
Goble looks cool and collected as she laparoscopically excises the silicon appendix, while fending off a barrage of distractions. But her brain activity, monitored through a cap covered in optical probes, may tell a different story.

Goble looks cool and collected as she laparoscopically excises the silicon appendix, while fending off a barrage of distractions. But her brain activity, monitored through a cap covered in optical probes, may tell a different story.
Dr Mary Goble, a first year specialising in surgery attempts a simulated appendectomy at the Surgical Innovation Centre at St Mary's hospital in Paddington, west London, UK.
