🚨 SCIENTISTS ARE USING AI TO MAP A HIDDEN... “CLEANING SYSTEM” INSIDE THE HUMAN BRAIN AND IT COULD CHANGE HOW WE UNDERSTAND SLEEP, AGING, AND NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASE. It’s called the glymphatic system a vast network of fluid channels that flushes toxic waste from the brain while you sleep. For years it was almost impossible to observe in detail. Now AI-powered imaging is revealing it like a living galaxy of microscopic rivers and pathways inside neural tissue. Why this matters: Your brain produces toxic proteins constantly. The glymphatic system is one of its primary waste-clearance mechanisms clearing the very proteins linked to Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and other neurodegenerative diseases. But here’s the unsettling part: This cleaning system becomes dramatically less efficient with age, poor sleep, stress, and brain injury. Sleep may not just “rest” your mind it may literally wash your brain. The deeper implication is staggering: The brain isn’t just a computer. It’s a dynamic, living network that constantly rebuilds and cleanses itself in real time. The more we map it, the more it looks like an entire universe of connected energy flows inside our skulls. What if some neurological diseases begin when the brain can no longer properly “wash” itself at night? Follow for more frontier neuroscience and future technology.show more

OPINION: WILL NEURALINK LET HUMANS KEEP UP WITH SUPERINTELLIGENT... AI? The truth is simple. In the next five to ten years we could have AI thousands of times smarter than any human. Our brains are amazing, but they are slow compared to AI. We speak about 150 words a minute and type even slower. Super intelligent AI will think and solve problems at speeds we cannot imagine. Neuralink is a solution. That amazing, tiny implant connects your brain directly to computers. You think and the machine responds instantly, no more slow keyboards or speech. More than a dozen people already have Neuralink implants. Some who were fully paralyzed are now playing video games, designing 3D models, and controlling computers just by thinking. Elon says the next steps are real telepathy and downloading knowledge straight into your brain. The plan is not to beat super intelligent AI in a race we cannot win. The plan is to team up with it. A high-speed brain link lets our human creativity, emotions, and values guide the AI while we get its incredible power. In the future, will there be a day without Neuralink, most people get left behind?show more

A Fun Creative Test. What Are You?👀 According to... theory, we are either left-brain or right-brain dominant🧠 The left brain is more verbal, analytical, & orderly than the right-brain. It's better at things like reading, writing, & computations.show more

NEURALINK: REAL-TIME BRAIN ACTIVITY, STREAMED Neuralink's implanted neural device... is already delivering what scientists have chased for decades: live visibility into human brain activity within minutes of surgery. In this demo, signals flare as a participant wakes up post-procedure - the device capturing the gradual surge of neural activity in real time. It’s a glimpse of the frontier: hardware that doesn’t just record the brain, but streams its inner rhythms instantly. From clinical care to brain-computer interfaces, the implications are massive.

Tinkering has always been a core part of Shopify’s... culture. We believe it’s the best way to find the creative limits of a tool. AI has potential unlike any technology we’ve seen before. It’s clear the world will be much better as entrepreneurs explore and understand its limits. So we built Tinker to help pull that future forward. It’s a mobile app where entrepreneurs can easily explore, play, and create with the latest AI applications. We can’t wait to see what you Tinker towards. Launching early 2026.show more

⚠️ Israel has begun a new wave of strikes... on Beirut, according to the Israeli military. Israel killed two professors in an airstrike on the Lebanese University campus, one of three Israeli attacks carried out in the capital Beirut this afternoon. Among those killed: • Dr. Hussein Bazzi, Director of the Faculty of Sciences • Dr. Murtada Srour, one of Lebanon’s leading physics experts. The Lebanese University is the country’s only national public university, a lifeline of higher education for thousands of students across Lebanon. These strikes appear aimed at pressuring the Lebanese government to confront Hezbollah. Has Israel run out of its so-called “military targets” that it is now killing professors at a university campus? What next - medics, students, journalists? Is this the Gaza playbook now being exported to Lebanon? A university campus. Two academics killed. This is what Israel calls “targets.” When universities become aims, even knowledge becomes the enemy.show more

Sam Altman explains biology's intelligence bottleneck: understanding a discovery... is far easier than making one "We are not that smart and biology is enormously complex." "We can imagine kind of anything." "We can have someone explain enormously complex things to us and then we can get it." "But to discover these things requires a lot of brain power." That is the hidden health AI bet. The breakthrough is not another chatbot that can summarize known medicine. It is enough machine intelligence to search biology's enormous possibility space for discoveries humans have not made. Medicine has no shortage of explanations. It has a discovery bottleneck. If models can supply the missing brain power, the highest-value output will not be answers. It will be new biological knowledge. - Sam Altman (Sam Altman), CEO of OpenAI, on CNNshow more

🚨🇨🇳 Chinese scientists identify previously unknown cause of Alzheimer's... disease A substance formed when particles break down — called 6PPD-quinone — may trigger inflammation and oxidative stress, both hallmarks of dementia, the new study suggests 🔸 The chemical is created when microscopic tire rubber reacts with ozone in the air, washing into water, soil, and even our bodies — it has been found in human blood 🔸 The compound can cross the blood-brain barrier — a filter that normally keeps harmful substances out of the brain 🔸 Scientists used databases to map over 100 potential ways this substance could interact with human biology 🔸They found 92 overlaps — including 23 key genes acting as communication hubs. These genes are most active in brain regions critical for memory and movement, such as the cortex and basal ganglia, which are especially vulnerable to Alzheimer's If experimental validation follows, this discovery could significantly improve the effectiveness of Alzheimer's future therapies.show more
