Tracking behaviour to understand the brain Research EPFL Scientist Mackenzie W. Mathis, a professor at EPFL and winner of the Swiss Science Prize Latsis 2024, has developed pioneering artificial intelligence algorithms in behavioural neuroscience. Flexible tentacle electrodes precisely record brain activity Research ETH Zurich Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed ultra-flexible brain probes that accurately record brain activity without causing tissue damage. This opens up new avenues for the treatment of a range of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. An entire brain-machine interface on a chip Research EPFL Researchers from EPFL have developed a next-generation miniaturized brain-machine interface capable of direct brain-to-text communication on tiny silicon chips. Separating the physical and psychosocial causes of pain Research ETH Zurich Not all pain is the same. Depending on the cause, it requires different therapies. A team led by ETH Zurich has now developed a method that enables physicians to better distinguish between physical and psychosocial pain. Sport or snack? How our brain decides Research ETH Zurich The brain chemical orexin is crucial when we choose between sport and the tasty temptations that beckon everywhere we turn. This research finding could also help people who find it difficult to motivate themselves to exercise. How epigenetics influence memory formation Research EPFL In an important study for understanding how memories are made, EPFL scientists show that the flexibility of chromatin – packaged DNA inside the cell – plays a crucial role in “deciding” which neurons are involved in forming a specific memory.
