To the parents of fussy eaters, the idea of a child who begs for broccoli and happily tucks into a pile of beans, pulses and tofu sounds like an impossible dream. Surely, such a child does not exist? Well, he does. One-year-old Dylan Bammeke’s favourite meal is dahl curry with rice or sweet potato mash, and you’ll never see him pulling a ‘yuck’ face when given a veggie stir-fry. Dylan eats... 

Chinese workers are reportedly being outfitted with brain-reading sensors designed to monitor their emotional state. According to the South China Morning Post, Hangzhou Zhongheng Electric, which develops and supplies electrical products, is one of several companies deploying the technology. “Concealed in regular safety helmets or uniform hats, these lightweight, wireless sensors constantly monitor... 

A mysterious illness has struck down some American and Canadian diplomats in the Cuban capital Havana, with the symptoms including nausea, migraines, concussion-like brain injuries and long-term deafness. While the details are sparse, reports suggest the diplomats may have fallen victim to some sort of “sonic attack”, with the finger pointed squarely at the Cuban Government. One of the... 

Dr. Ben Carson, one of the worlds best neurosurgeons ever, is suspecting that there is something wrong with Hillary Clinton’s brain health. During an interview with FOX News’s Sean Hannity, he has called for Hillary Clinton to release her medical records to the public as more and more people are fearful that she is mentally unfit to lead the country. Carson’s comments came in response... 

Americans suffer from various forms of psychosis due to prescribed drugs and heavy metals in water and air. The level of aggression and cruelty in the US society has been growing lately, because the current generation of Americans is much more affected by neurotoxins than the preceding generation. The impact of industrial chemicals that surround people in their everyday lives makes the situation even... 

Simulation of electrical activity in a “virtual brain slice” formed from seven unitary digital reconstructions of neocortical microcircuits from part of a rat’s brain. A group of international scientists have digitally recreated a part of a rat’s brain using supercomputers. The accomplishment can lead to infinite possibilities, including the reconstruction of the human brain. What... 

A waist-down paralyzed man regained his ability to walk after neurosurgeons connected his brain’s waves to his knees’ neurons. A man with the paralysis of the lower body has regained the power to walk after his brain signals were transmitted artificially to the receptor neurons of his legs. The 26-year-old American, who picked up a spinal cord injury (SCI) in a motorbike accident about five years... 

A stimulant drug successfully used to help people with sleep disorders stay awake can boost cognitive functions in healthy people, according to a new study. The ‘smart pill’ has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Researchers reviewed 24 studies on the drug modafinil which were carried out between 1990 and 2015 and found that it appeared to improve cognitive function. Some of the... 

University of California researchers from Berkeley have made up a concept of so-called ‘neural dust’. Extremely tiny microchips now may be implanted in the human brain. The chips are planned to be implanted in the main body organ in order to study person’s thoughts and track psychological processes. The scientists claim, the technology will be so tiny, a person will hardly notice... 

Two areas of the brain, the hippocampus (yellow) and the prefrontal cortex (blue), use two different brain-wave frequencies to communicate as the brain learns to associate unrelated objects. The key learning regions in the brain, the hippocampus and the prefrontal cortex, use different wave frequencies during memory-based decision making, a new research says. The study was carried out by Massachusetts... 

2014’s accomplishments have uncovered new facts from Earth’s early days, as well as opened new horizons – in tiny cells and vast space exploration, affecting the planet’s and its inhabitants’ future. How did it all go? #Cometlanding and exploring origins of life Ten years on Earth might be a speck of sand in the hour glass of the galaxy, but not for the European Space... 

Two cannabis components can have a significant effect on the size of cancerous tumors in the brain, especially when combined with radiotherapy, according to new research. The study says the growths can virtually “disappear.” The research was carried out by specialists at St Georges, University of London and published in the Molecular Cancer Therapeutics journal. There are some 85 cannabinoids... 

Wiping out memories at a press of a button, just like with a ‘neuralizer’ from the Men in Black movie, may soon become a reality. Researchers have managed to erase and then restore lost memory in genetically modified rats with a flash of light. The study by researchers from University of California in San Diego, published in Nature journal , is the first cause-and-effect evidence that strengthening... 

A new study conducted by the American researchers suggests that children’s afternoon short sleep grants them to have better learning power. The new study shows that naps are critical for memory consolidation and early learning among the kids particularly for those ones who are three to-five-year-olds. Sleep researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amhers say an hour-long nap after lunch boosts... 

Conversion: Dr Ebon Alexander claims he had an out-of-body experience whilst in a coma When it came to the after-life, Eben Alexander used to be just like most scientists — a firm non-believer. By his own account only ‘nominally’ a Christian, the 58-year-old, Harvard-educated neurosurgeon knew too much to have time for the tales of out-of-body experiences that patients would sometimes describe...
