What one sleepless night does to brain connections and why sleep may reset them

A night without sleep produced increased markers of connections between brain cells, showing that sleep in humans may be important for restoring cellular balance in the brain, according to a study published in PLOS Biology by David Elmenhorst from the Forschungszentrum Jülich Ins

New evidence of the transition from the last hunter-gatherers to early farming communities

Archaeological work conducted at the Coves del Fem (Ulldemolins, Priorat)—located within the Serra de Montsant Natural Park—between May 30 and June 28, 2026, has yielded important new evidence for understanding the prehistory of the northeastern Iberian Peninsula. The campaign wa

Seeing through optical noise: New method offers sharper way to image the eye

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become one of the foundations of modern ophthalmology. A patient sits in front of the device and focuses on a target, and moments later the physician can see a detailed cross-section of the retina, layer by layer, without any physical contac

CAR T cell therapy leads to 10-year remissions in B-cell lymphoma patients

After a median follow-up of 10 years, more than one-third of patients with large B-cell lymphoma and nearly half of patients with follicular lymphoma who received a single infusion of tisagenlecleucel—the CAR T-cell therapy developed by Carl June, MD, that would go on to become t

Neural pathways reveal a push-pull system for coordinating goal-directed behavior in mice

Most of the tasks that humans complete daily entail carefully coordinating movements and tracking progress made toward a desired goal. Past studies have highlighted the role of the basal ganglia (BG), a set of interconnected structures deep within the brain, in the selection, con

Wireless biodegradable sensor could help injured knees heal without dangerous overloading

A biodegradable pressure sensor could help people with knee injuries exercise and heal faster, University of Connecticut researchers report in Science Advances. The knee can take a great deal of abuse, thanks to the cartilage that cushions it. But if it's not moved and exercised

Restoring lost senses: One technology for both artificial vision and touch

Patients with untreatable conditions such as sight loss or loss of motor function could be closer to a viable technology for restoring their lost sense within a faster time frame. This is due to the discovery that advanced brain interfacing technology used for both touch and visi
