Summary
Neuronal proteins from the brain drain to the dura, skull, and nose, whereas injected CSF-tracer accumulates in neck lymph nodes. The study highlights that the act of injection may perturb the system under investigation.

Neuronal proteins originating in the brain drained to the dura, skull, and nose, while injected CSF-tracer gathered in the neck’s lymph nodes. Like Schrödinger’s cat, the act of injection itself may perturb the system being studied. https://t.co/jK5uSW3Mm1

Scientists reverse brain aging, with a nasal spray
Scientists at Texas A&M have developed a nasal spray using extracellular vesicles carrying microRNAs that reverses brain inflammation and restores memory in aged brains, with results lasting months. The therapy could potentially treat Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative conditions.
Indian scientists produce most detailed 3D atlas of the human brainstem
Indian scientists at IIT-Madras have created the most detailed 3D atlas of the human brainstem at cellular resolution, called Anchor, integrating over 500 tissue sections to map more than 200 cell clusters and pathways, bridging whole-brain imaging and cellular pathology.
Brain Score Tracks Shared Properties of Languages: Evidence from Many Natural Languages and Structured Sequences
This paper investigates whether Brain Score, a metric comparing language model representations to human fMRI activations during reading, is truly capturing human-like language processing or merely structural similarity. The researchers train language models on diverse natural languages and non-linguistic structured data (genome, Python, nested parentheses), finding that models trained on different languages and even non-linguistic sequences achieve similar Brain Score performance, suggesting the metric may not be sensitive enough to distinguish human-specific processing.
