Researchers have identified the retinal source of high-resolution vision, proving that the eye sends isolated signals from individual cone cells to the brain. The study confirms that human visual acuity is limited only by the physical spacing of cells in the retina.

A 34-country study reveals that the “exposome”—the combination of pollution, social inequality, and political context—is 15 times more predictive of brain aging than any single risk factor. The research calls for a shift from individual “lifestyle” advice to broad structural policy changes to protect global brain health.

The APOE4 gene triggers a protein called Nell2, which shrinks neurons and causes brain hyperactivity. Lowering Nell2 levels reversed these effects in mice, offering a new target for early Alzheimer’s intervention.

Researchers are developing a multiscale “neurometabolic” model to track how the brain’s energy consumption drives aging and Alzheimer’s. The $3.3M project aims to identify metabolic warning signs years before cognitive decline begins.

Biologists have discovered that the male octopus’s mating arm is a sophisticated sensory organ that “tastes” female hormones. The study reveals how these solitary creatures use “taste-by-touch” receptors to find and recognize mates in total darkness.

Researchers have developed CAMEO, a low-cost carbon nanotube sensor for monitoring human brain organoids. The scalable “basket” design allows for large-scale studies of neurodevelopmental disorders like Angelman syndrome.
