Neurink was founded by Elon Musk in 2016 to help patients with paralysis and neurological diseases in the short term, and reduce the risk of artificial intelligence to humanity in the long run. Neuralink's mission is to develop brain interface (BCI) that treats various brain diseases. The ultimate goal is to create a full -brain interface that can connect biological and artificial intelligence to the whole brain of human and artificial intelligence. Neurink announced in May 2023 that the FDA approved the initiative of the first clinical research of the human body, and officially began recruiting subjects for PRIME research (abbreviation of precision robot implanted brain machine interfaces) in September 2023. This is a pioneering clinical trial, which aims to evaluate PRIME's implants, surgical robots, and the initial function of the BCI of Neuralink, enabling people with limbs to control external equipment with their ideological. This study involves a small, invisible implant in the brain in charge of planning movement. The device aims to interpret human nerve activity so that people can operate a computer or smartphone -no need to move or body movement as long as they are moving consciously. This research will be the first research on the human body. It may help us find more secure and effective methods to implant and use BCI, thereby potentially recover and enhance computer control and other functions.

Technologies enable 3D imaging of whole human brain hemispheres at subcellular resolution https://lnkd.in/dKU3iV6D A suite of three innovations enables high-resolution, high-throughput imaging of human brain tissue at a full range of scales and mapping connectivity of neurons at single cell resolution. To demonstrate the advance, researchers compared a brain region in an Alzheimer's and a control sample.

🌟 **Breaking News: BrainBridge Unveils World's First Head Transplant System!** 🌟 🧠 Imagine a future where head transplants become a reality. BrainBridge, a pioneering neuroscience and biomedical engineering startup, is making that vision a step closer to reality. 🤖 🔬 **The Procedure:** BrainBridge's revolutionary approach involves transplanting a patient's head onto a healthy, brain-dead donor body. This procedure aims to preserve the patient's consciousness, memories, and cognitive abilities. 🌐 🤖 **Advanced Robotics and AI:** BrainBridge leverages high-speed robotic systems to prevent brain cell degradation during the delicate process. Real-time molecular-level imaging and AI algorithms guide precise reconnection of the spinal cord, nerves, and blood vessels. 🤯 🔍 **Key Features:** - Dual autonomous surgical robots perform simultaneous surgeries on both the recipient and donor bodies. - Cooling the head and body to approximately 5°C minimizes brain damage during detachment. - A proprietary chemical adhesive, polyethylene glycol, aids in reconnecting severed neurons. - A specialized implant in the epidural space promotes neuron repair, allowing the brain to form neural connections with the new body. 🌈 🌐 **Hope for the Future:** BrainBridge's mission is to offer hope to individuals suffering from untreatable conditions like stage-4 cancer, paralysis, and neurodegenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's). Their comprehensive feasibility studies, powered by advanced AI simulations, pave the way for the first surgery within eight years. 🚀 🔗 **Learn More:** Watch BrainBridge's unveiling video: [Head Transplant Machine – BrainBridge](https://lnkd.in/gZQEMJDM) Read the New York Post article: [Scientists Announce Wild Plan for First Head Transplant](https://lnkd.in/gRd8mfua) Stay informed about this mind-bending breakthrough! 🌐👇 #BrainBridge #HeadTransplant #BiomedicalEngineering #AI #Neuroscience #Innovation --- Feel free to share this post and join the conversation! 🙌🏼🚀

👏 We're proud to see our Giulio Ruffini and Ricardo Salvador collaborate with a team of researchers, using our #Starstim device, finding that non-invasive stimulation of the hypothalamus network can enhance inhibitory control! Ten participants with obesity underwent three sessions of network-targeted transcranial direct current stimulation (net-tDCS), including anodal, cathodal, and sham stimulation. Anodal net-#tDCS significantly improved response inhibition, measured by stop signal reaction time (SSRT). These findings highlight the potential of net-tDCS in modulating brain networks related to appetite control. Check out the full #study to find out more about how our Starstim was used: https://lnkd.in/g2HhUCYA Congratulations to Theresa Ester-Nacke, Katharina Berti, Ralf Veit, Corinna Dannecker, Martin Heni, Andreas Birkenfeld, Christian Plewnia, Hubert Preissl, and Stephanie Kullmann.  Helmholtz Munich German Center for Diabetes Research (Deutsches Zentrum für Diabetesforschung, DZD) University of Tuebingen Universitätsklinikum Tübingen Springer Nature Group

Congratulations to Barrow #neuroimaging scientist Ashley Stokes, PhD, on her recent grant from the Arizona Alzheimer’s Consortium! Dr. Stokes is collaborating with Arizona State University #neurodegeneration scientist Ramon Velazquez, PhD, to better understand how Alzheimer's disease leads to changes in functional connectivity, the term for how different regions of the brain interact with each other. Functional connectivity can be mapped with advanced imaging methods, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Using such methods, numerous studies have shown impaired brain networks in #Alzheimersdisease. This association, however, is not well understood. Drs. Stokes and Velazquez hope to advance our understanding of this relationship by applying a novel imaging modality in preclinical models that mimic what we already know about the stages of #Alzheimers progression. This project will build upon the researchers' previous findings of both gray matter atrophy and white matter microstructural changes in a preclinical model of Alzheimer's, particularly in brain regions that play an important role in memory. This project could provide much-needed context for numerous clinical studies that have shown widespread changes in the functional connectome in patients with Alzheimer's, potentially bringing us closer to new therapies for the disease. #WorldAlzheimersMonth
