Human Brain Organoids Implanted into Mouse Cortex Respond to Visual Stimuli for First Time

A team of engineers and neuroscientists has demonstrated for the first time that human brain organoids implanted in mice have established functional connectivity to the animals’ cortex and responded to external sensory stimuli.

What Happens When We Pass Out? Researchers ID New Brain and Heart Connections

UC San Diego researchers have for the first time identified the genetic pathway between the heart and brain tied to fainting. In a new study published in the journal Nature, they found that vagal sensory neurons trigger fainting, laying a foundation for addressing fainting-related disorders.

In Conversation with Ramesh Rao: Visualizing the Invisible with MEG (video and transcript)

Qualcomm Institute Director Ramesh Rao chats with Roland Lee and Mingxiong Huang, who co-direct QI’s new Magnetoencephalography (MEG) Center on the underpinnings of the advanced brain imaging technique, the making of the new facility, and MEG’s contributions to research and patient care.

Staying in the Loop: How Superconductors are Helping Computers “Remember”

To advance neuromorphic computing, some researchers are looking at analog improvements—advancing not just software, but hardware too. Research from the UC San Diego and UC Riverside shows a promising new way to store and transmit information using disordered superconducting loops.
