Remember the movie Re-Animator? Well, it’s back

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Re-Animator

Yale researchers restored circulation and cellular function in pig brains four hours postmortem using a perfusion system (BrainEx), preserving synaptic activity and gene expression. This work redefines the limits of ischemic damage and raises critical neuroethical concerns about the definition of brain death.

What makes one member of the species behave differently from another? It's a core problem in behavioural #neuroscience.

This valuable study seeks an answer for the specific case of the fruit fly expressing preferences for one odour over another.

The Explorer's Gene: Why We Seek Big Challenges, New Flavors, and the Blank Spots on the Map by Alex Hutchinson, 2025

New York Times-bestselling author of Endure Alex Hutchinson returns with a fresh, provocative investigation into how exploration, uncertainty, and risk shape our behavior and help us find meaning.

Off the beaten path, following unmarked trails, we are wired to explore. More than just a need to get outside, the search for the unknown is a primal urge that has shaped the history of our species and continues to mold our behavior in ways we are only beginning to understand. In fact, the latest neuroscience suggests that exploration in any form—whether it’s trying a new restaurant, changing careers, or deciding to run a marathon—is an essential ingredient of human life. Exploration, it turns out, isn’t merely a hobby—it’s our story.

In this much-anticipated follow-up to his New York Times bestseller Endure, Alex Hutchinson refutes the myth that, in our fully mapped digital world, the age of exploration is dead. Instead, the itch to discover new things persists in all of us, expressed not just on the slopes of Everest but in the ways we work, play, and live. From paddling the lost rivers of the northern Canadian wilderness to the ocean-spanning voyages of the Polynesians to the search for next-generation quantum computers, The Explorer’s Gene combines riveting stories of exploration with cutting-edge insights from behavioral psychology and neuroscience, making a powerful case that our lives are better—more productive, more meaningful, and more fun—when we break our habits and chart a new path.

The Ageless Brain by Dale E. Bredesen, MD

From the bestselling author of The End of Alzheimer's, Dr. Dale Bredesen, comes a revolutionary new approach to preventing the onset of neurodegenerative disease and creating sustained brain health.

n recent decades, advances in medicine have changed the way we think about our health. Chronic diseases like obesity, heart disease, and diabetes can be prevented or reversed. Cancer treatment has become targeted and personalized. Gene editing will allow us to eradicate many inherited disorders. But there is one class of conditions that continues to elude researchers and cause tremendous suffering: neurodegenerative disease.
More than six million Americans live with Alzheimer's disease; by 2050, this number is projected to reach thirteen million. An additional one in ten people over the age of sixty-five have dementia, while 22 percent of older adults live with some form of cognitive impairment. And it isn't just the elderly who are afflicted;

The Ideological Brain: The Radical Science of Flexible Thinking by Leor Zmigrod, 2025

Why do some people become radicalized?

How do ideologies shape the human brain?

And how can we unchain our minds from toxic dogmas?

#books
#nonfiction

#neuroscience
#thinking
#ideology

In The Ideological Brain, Leor Zmigrod reveals the deep connection between political beliefs and the biology of the brain. Drawing on her own pioneering research, she uncovers the complex interplay between biology and environment that predisposes some individuals to rigid ways of thinking, and explains how ideologies take hold of our brains, fundamentally changing the way we think, act and interact with others. She shows how ideologues of all types struggle to change their thought patterns when faced with new information, culminating in the radical message that our politics are not superficial but are woven into the fabric of our minds.

This authoritative, accessible and playful blend of psychology, politics and philosophy explores the cutting-edge of the emerging field of political neuroscience. Zmigrod examines its historical roots before she looks to the future, considering the broader social and political implications of her groundbreaking research. Guiding readers through her experiments, she eventually describes what a free, authentic, and tolerant brain looks like, and explains how anyone can keep their mind open and flexible in the face of extremist ideologies.

Glued to TikTok? Ditching your smartphone may not break the habit
By Anna Salleh

We may think smartphones are responsible for distracting us, but a new study suggests the devices aren't to blame, it's how we've been trained to use them.

Жизнь в эпоху ИИ. Адаптируйся или вымри. Прогнозы и гипотезы

Анализируя влияние ИИ на современное общество, можно провести аналогию с появлением огнестрельного оружия. Изначально оно не превосходило луки и арбалеты по дальности, скорости или пробивной силе. Однако его ключевое преимущество заключалось в экономической доступности. Огнестрел удешевил военное дело: солдат с трехмесячной подготовкой мог конкурировать с профессиональным воином, чьи навыки и экипировка требовали десятилетий тренировок и огромных затрат. Подобным образом сейчас ИИ трансформирует рынок труда, снижая зависимость от человеческого опыта и перераспределяя роли в профессиональной сфере.

Had a non fiction book on my shelf for a while that I couldn't get the audiobook for, but now I'm traveling I'm finally able to get into it

It's called The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat (And Other Clinical Tales) by Oliver Sacks

It's a collection of real clinical cases and the reflections of the attending neurologist (the author)

It's both a fascinating insight into the nature of experience and how that can be affected by a brain injury or disease, and a series of touching stories about helping people find peace when nothing makes sense around them
