Brain implants like DBS are rigid, but ideally they would be flexible, to conform to brain shape and reduce invasiveness. But how do you insert flexible neural electronics? With bioresorbable stiffeners! Check out @MariaaCerezoo 's article on the subject: https://t.co/qXjFqwKlPC

It’s #EuropeanMentalHealthWeek!
Yesterday we held an educational workshop at Natale Gallino Primary School in Genoa in collaboration with our project coordinator @IITalk - #EnhancedRegenerativeMedicine Lab researcher @gemmabio7 and our partner @eurokleis .

There are other approaches as well, such as making a computer learn, instead of programming it

L’intelligenza artificiale conosce le lingue, non le culture
Abbiamo posto a GPT4 le stesse domande in diverse lingue. Per vedere se la macchina ragiona diversamente nei diversi luoghi. I risultati fanno riflettere https://t.co/Zodb76Ep54

It's #BrainWeek!
This year again #neuroscientist and researcher from our consortium join the #BrainAwarenessWeek - the global campaign to foster public enthusiasm and support for #brain science.
On Wed, 15th March at 11am in Rome @InstitutRome a workshop with @gemmabio7 @IITalk

[BrainJamBlog @BrainJamBlog]

Can we transfer information directly from one #brain to another? And then link multiple #brains into a hive-#mind like the Borg? Could acquire new information without having actually to learn it?

We understand the #brain better and better, but there still is a lot to discover...

🔎 Ion channels are pore-forming membrane proteins which allow #ions to pass through the channel pore. Their functions include establishing a resting membrane potential, shaping action potentials and other electrical signals.

[HERMES-FET @HERMES_FET]

The #brain functions in a dynamic way that is controlled by the flux of #ions across membranes. Normally adjusted for optimal neural function, ion levels can change and alter the excitability of #neurons and influence synaptic transmission in healthy and diseased brains

Communication between cells isn’t just firing off electrical signals 😊⚡️
As we, as a society, progress in how our thinking and technology develops, the problems and questions that arise become more complex: via our Blog, by @carloierna.
