Breakthrough Brain Implant Can Target Multiple Brain Regions at Once

Breakthrough Brain Implant Can Target Multiple Brain Regions at Once – Could It Transform Treatment for Epilepsy, Parkinson’s, and Brain Cancer?

A new multi‑region drug‑delivery implant Scientists at New York University in Abu Dhabi have engineered a helical micro‑catheter that can infuse medication from multiple, precisely placed outlets, enabling clinicians to reach several brain regions at once from a single, minimally invasive path.

How “Brain‑Inspired” Neuromorphic Chips Could Upend GPUs

AI’s Power Problem Meets Its Match: How “Brain‑Inspired” Chips Could Upend GPUs in 2026

What is neuromorphic (brain‑inspired) computing? Neuromorphic computing borrows from the brain’s playbook: it co‑locates memory and computation to avoid the von‑Neumann “traffic jam” of shuttling data between separate chips. IBM describes this shift as in‑memory (analog crossbars that both store and compute)
