Scientists Develop World's First 'Synthetic' Embryo With Brain & Beating Heart: Report

Cambridge University scientists have produced the world's first "synthetic" embryo with a brain and beating heart. The embryo was generated using mouse stem cells, which are similar to stem cells in the body and may develop into practically any form of cell. Researchers were able to encourage the stem cells to "speak" to each other by activating a certain set of genes and providing a particular environment for their interactions.

New Research Discovers How Our Brain Identifies Familiar Faces

In a recent study published in "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences", it was found that the information about familiar faces is recorded in a neural code and shared across brains. Researchers used hyperalignment, which generates a shared representational space to analyze how individuals' brain activity is comparable. Data… read-more
