1. Human Brain Is Two

Stanford Medicine reports a study suggesting that the human brain develops from two distinct neural progenitor systems. The researchers traced one pathway toward the forebrain and midbrain, and another toward the hindbrain, which manages automatic functions such as breathing, swallowing and heartbeat.

2. New Study Links Deep

Nature Neuroscience reports a human study connecting Alzheimer’s-related tau in the frontal cortex with changes in deep non-REM sleep waves. Researchers combined tau PET imaging, sleep EEG and memory measures in older adults, then checked the relationship against an independent group using cerebrospinal-fluid markers.

3. New Study Uses Neural

The University of Utah describes a study using neural networks to model how structured experience shapes learning. Researchers trained networks on a timing task that was modeled on a mouse experiment, comparing a gradual path from simpler trials with a direct jump into the full task.
