Scientists have discovered that shifting rain bands in the tropics are driven by a powerful combination: heating landmasses in the Northern Hemisphere and an intensifying Indo-Pacific warm pool. This challenges long-held climate models that focus too broadly on general ocean temperatures.

Researchers have combined focused ultrasound stimulation with local field potential recordings to track brain activity at submillimetre and millisecond scales. This approach bypasses the traditional trade-offs between spatial and temporal precision seen in fMRI and EEG.

A new deep-learning framework called IRIS aims to bypass the speed limits of traditional brain imaging. By reconstructing sparsely sampled data, it allows researchers to observe fast neuronal activity without sacrificing image quality.

Researchers have mapped a continuous, multi-node circuit connecting the spinal cord to the brain and back again, which appears responsible for chronic pain. By silencing specific nodes in this loop, scientists successfully reversed mechanical hypersensitivity in mice without altering normal pain responses.
