Here’s something you don’t hear everyday – everything we perceive is just a best case probabilistic prediction by our brain, based on our past encounters and knowledge gained through other mediums. This might sound extremely counter intuitive because we have always imagined that our brain mostly gives us deterministic answers.

We’ll do a small experiment to showcase this logic. Take a look at the below image:

This tech might be able to recreate your consciousness in a computer. The only catch? You have to die.

Brain in a vat technology?

If it were tried on a person, it might mean awakening in the ultimate sensory deprivation chamber.

Scientists at New York’s Albert Einstein College of Medicine have conducted experiments and found that stem cell implants in the brains of mice can stop aging and help the treated animals remain fitter for longer.

What part of the brain controls aging?

The experiments have helped researchers identify that a part of the brain called the hypothalamus is intimately involved in the aging process. The investigators hope to launch trials in humans to see whether similar treatments with neural stem cells can prolong the life of treated individuals.

Only to realise ‘Star Trek’ had already explained the process in a 1988 episode.

Older people can still grow new brain cells like young people, new study shows. Reference: surg.ws/2GYVXOU

Researchers show for the first time that healthy older men and women can generate just as many new brain cells as younger people.

Today we will be discussing new research published in nature where researchers modified a protein associated with Alzheimer’s disease into a more harmless form, allowing them to remove the damage caused by Alzheimer’s in human cells. This is especially important because the research was not conducted on mice but rather human cells, and shows a potential way to halt the formation of the plaques associated with Alzheimer’s in the first place.

The mice helped the tiny organoids get nutrients, oxygen, and even start developing human neurons.

Scientists at the Salk Institute implanted lentil-sized human brain organoids into the heads of mice, then closed it with a transparent window. The mice looked and behaved like ordinary mice, while supplying blood and nutrients to keep human brains developing for months.
