We’re entering a new era in brain modulation where we may able to treat brain disease and improve mental health with no wires and no genetic engineering. This study shows that it’s possible to noninvasively rewire neural activity using near-infrared light and systemically

🤩New cover for Nano Letters! Brain-insired Engineering 🧠 On the coverart we depicted liquid artificial #synapses which were engineered with copper-based #electrolytes. The liquid-medium, enabled to better emulate the ionic movements associated with learning in the brain,

Absolutely Dr. Philip Eckardt, MD . Change can be difficult, especially when our identity is intertwined with a particular idea, field, or belief. That’s often when the challenge feels personal rather than intellectual. But that discomfort is also where growth begins.

What gives us the capacity to grow, recover, and heal? We build on first principles and recent discoveries on biological system dynamics to develop the concept of intrinsic health, a field-like state emerging from the dynamic interplay of energy, communication, and structure🧵

Photons propagate surprisingly well through the human head, through cortical brain regions it appears. I’d bet the photon path ‘illuminates’ where consciousness is, and where anesthetics bind near quantum optical aromatic pathways. Nirosha J. Murugan spiedigitallibrary.org/journals/neuro…

Water is not just a solvent, it can store energy and information. Mitochondria act as dynamic integrators, shaping and being shaped by structured water. Together with microtubules, this coupling forms a coherent system capable of supporting quantum-level effects that drive

Cellular communication during morphogenesis is traditionally framed through molecular signalling. But beneath it lies a more subtle and powerful layer: weak, invisible physical fields rooted in light, magnetism, and electricity that structure the flow of information and spatial

Excited to see our brain photon work sharing the same digital space on Mitoworld: mitoworld.org Biological light may be more than a byproduct -it could be a language. Mitochondria, long known as powerhouses, may also act as integrators and emitters of information

So grateful and beautiful to feel a life grow within you...and then witness it begin to take shape in the world, full of its own rhythm and potential.

Is this a symptom of a deeper, systemic issue? If we zoom out, we might see that how we define “good” science is often shaped by the consensus structures of the time. Peer review and journal gatekeeping have always been under scrutiny. With all the changes that are happening,

Here we go! 💡 If silicon chips can compute and communicate using light, it’s time we seriously consider the brain as a photonic information processor. Looking beyond action potentials to other physical modalities—like light—opens new ground for understanding complex phenomena

1/4 Scientific theories make testable predictions. Our intrinsic health framework hypothesizes that energy, communication, and structure are sufficiently integrated that a common health construct can be reliably measured. 🧵

Well said!

What if the shape of the body is actually the consequence of smaller patterns working out their dynamics in the physical world? Hear Mike Levin's fascinating speculation on Inner Cosmos: "Might we be surrounded with undetected minds?" eagleman.com/podcast/111 #brain #anatomy
