Predicting Cognitive Impairments in Schizophrenia: A Cellular Bridge to Brain Function
Researchers have successfully linked individual cellular defects in lab-grown neurons to whole-brain structural and cognitive changes in patients. This multiscale approach offers a direct biological explanation for specific cognitive deficits.

AI-Powered Chip Spots Ten Cancers From a Single Blood Test
Scientists have developed an AI-powered chip that can detect ten different types of cancer from a single blood serum test with remarkable accuracy. By analysing the unique molecular 'fingerprints' of tiny particles called exosomes, the system not only distinguishes cancerous from healthy samples but has also identified a promising universal marker for cancer.

Left Area PF: The Brain's 'Technical Hub' Supporting Human Ingenuity
Researchers suggest that grey matter volume in the left area PF, within the supramarginal gyrus, may predict individual differences in technical reasoning—the ability to infer and manipulate the causal structure of the physical world. These findings suggest this area may provide essential computational resources for technical cognition, offering insights into the neural basis of technological innovation and humanity's distinctive capacity for complex technologies.

Sound Waves Could Finally Reveal the Origins of Consciousness
Scientists are proposing a new roadmap for using transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) to map the neural origins of consciousness. Unlike older stimulation methods, tFUS offers precise, millimetre-scale access to deep brain structures without surgery, promising a major leap forward in understanding how we perceive reality.
