Researchers have demonstrated a new class of low-cost, scalable sensors that can be used to monitor electrical activity in human cerebral organoids. Because electrical signals are key to understanding brain function, this advance facilitates research into both neurodevelopment and genetic disorders such as Angelman syndrome. Human cerebral organoids are millimeter-sized tissues comprised of cell types … Read more
A new study found that healthcare professionals post more credible TikTok videos about sudden cardiac death, yet non-expert creators still win more attention, exposing a gap between information quality and audience reach. Key takeaways Healthcare professionals posted more credible, higher-quality sudden cardiac death videos than non-healthcare creators, scoring higher on DISCERN, JAMA, and CRAAP assessments. … Read more
Artificial intelligence could make cancer diagnosis safer and fairer by learning when to defer to human pathologists without overloading them, according to researchers from the University of Surrey and Monash University. The approach tackles two critical problems that have limited the use of AI-assisted decision-making in cancer pathology, radiology and other fields where human expertise … Read more
A comprehensive invited review published today in Brain Medicine confronts one of the most persistent paradoxes in modern medicine: psychiatry remains the only major clinical discipline that diagnoses complex illness primarily through conversation and symptom checklists, while fields such as oncology and cardiology long ago embraced laboratory markers, imaging, and molecular profiling. The review, authored … Read more

Researchers have developed a tool for identifying children at risk of speech disorders, reducing unnecessary treatment for common speech errors that often resolve on their own. The research, led by Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) in Melbourne and published in the Archives of Disease in Childhood, identifies red flags to help guide speech therapy referrals. Additionally, … Read more
Presbycusis is a prevalent form of age-related hearing loss that also hinders speech recognition. While scientists have linked hearing loss to an increased risk of cognitive decline, the biological “bridge” between the two has remained unclear. New from eNeuro, researchers at Tiangong University and Shandong Provincial Hospital, led by Ning Li, explored the link between these symptoms in people. The … Read more
An international study led by researchers from the Sant Pau Research Institute (IR Sant Pau) shows that advanced use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows much more accurate identification of patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD). These are two rare and clearly underdiagnosed atypical parkinsonian disorders. The study, published in The Journal … Read more
Researchers at King’s College London and the University of Florence have, for the first time, identified the specific genetic blueprint of mania, the defining feature of bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is one of the most severe and complex psychiatric conditions, affecting around 2% of people worldwide. While episodes of depression, psychosis and other symptoms are … Read more
