Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 24, June 2026. SignificanceSynaptic plasticity has been causally linked to homeostatic sleep regulation. However, how synaptic plasticity governs the dynamic accumulation and dissipation of sleep pressure remains elusive. Using synapse-enriched proteomics and phospho-... Read more ›
Genetically encoded calcium indicators (GECIs) are vital tools for fluorescence-based visualization of neuronal activity with high spatial and temporal resolution. However, current highest-performance GECIs are predominantly green or red fluorescent, limiting multiplexing options and efficient excitation with fixed-wavelength femtosecond lasers operating at 1030 nm. In an effort to overcome these limitations, we developed OCaMP, an orange fluorescent GECI engineered from O-GECO1 through targe... Read more ›
This study examines how deficiencies in one brain connectome modality propagate to the other, using the Krakencoder as a simulation framework. Structural and functional connectomes from 702 healthy participants in the Human Connectome Project were analyzed, with the impact of each of the Yeo-7 functional networks assessed separately. Seven scenarios were considered, each involving the removal of a single network while the remaining networks were... Read more ›

A new study of retired athletes found that repetitive head trauma can lead to a "leaky" blood-brain barrier. This long-lasting damage allows immune cells to enter the brain, causing persistent inflammation and accelerating cognitive decline. Read more ›
We present MeshLoom, a feed-forward registration network that directly reconstructs vertex deformations across mesh sequences. Our approach advances non-rigid registration beyond existing models, which are typically constrained by costly per-instance optimization, narrow object categories, pairwise-only inputs, or merely intermediate outputs. The network is simple and efficient, registering multiple meshes within seconds. At its core lies a topo... Read more ›

Scientists discovered that the visual brain may secretly “feel” what it sees, turning sight into physical experience and helping make empathy possible. Working with researchers from institutions around the world, Nicholas Hedger (University of Reading) and Tomas Knapen (Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience & Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) investigated one of neuroscience’s biggest questions: how humans experience [...] Read more ›

Resolving nanoscale light-matter interactions requires both high spatial resolution and anisotropic sensitivity to in-plane and out-of-plane optical responses. We introduce torsional force microscopy-infrared microscopy, a new optical imaging technique that combines cantilever torsional dynamics with a nonlinear frequency-mixing scheme to map both in-plane and out-of-plane photothermal signals. Using birefringent mica as a model system, we resolve distinct in-plane and out-of-plane vibrationa... Read more ›

Samsung is getting closer to Elon Musk and his companies. After manufacturing multiple chips for Tesla’s electric vehicles, AI servers, and humanoid robots, Samsung has reportedly started working on next-generation brain implant chips for another Elon Musk company, Neuralink. According to a report from Hankyung, Samsung Foundry has begun research and development on Neuralink’s fourth-generation […] Read more ›

Author summary Oligodendrocytes are glial cells in the central nervous system that form myelin, the insulating sheath enabling rapid nerve signal transmission. Myelination is a dynamic process influenced by neuronal activity, with calcium (Ca2+) signaling emerging as a key regulator. These signals include spontaneous local Ca2+ transients (SCaLTs), generated intrinsically or facilitated by membrane voltage, as well as evoked responses triggered by neurotransmitters like ATP and glutamate. To ... Read more ›
The human brain is the ultimate supercomputer. It uses a highly branched and interconnected network of neurons and synapses to achieve massive computational power with extreme efficiency. In the age of AI, the brain, a paradigm of efficient neuromorphic computing, is providing inspiration for scientists. Read more ›
