A largescale, comprehensive study has found that individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at increased risk of being convicted of crimes compared to those without ADHD, and that this association extends to their relatives, suggesting shared familial factors such as genetics and environmental conditions. The new study in Biological Psychiatry, published by Elsevier, emphasizes the need for timely support to help reduce impulsive or risky behaviors that might otherwise escalate. It suggests that understanding familial patterns encourages clinicians to be more attentive to ADHD symptoms in relatives, thereby helping to interrupt cycles across generations.
A research paper by scientists at the Beijing Institute of Technology proposed a brain–machine hybrid intelligent system for sound target detection (STD), featuring a neuroanatomy-informed EEG decoding network and an adaptive confidence-based fusion strategy to address poor robustness and limited generalization of existing methods under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions or with unseen target classes.
The new research paper, publishede journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, presented the development, validation, and optimization of the hybrid system, demonstrating that integrating neuroanatomical priors into EEG decoding and fusing brain-machine decisions can significantly enhance STD performance in complex acoustic environments.Harvard engineers, as part of Project CETI, have built an open-source bio-logger that adheres to sperm whales and records high-fidelity, multi-channel audio plus rich behavioral and environmental data. The data are tailored for machine learning analysis so that researchers can better understand whale communication.
Extracellular vesicles serve as essential mediators of communication between immune cells and tumor cells, and the recent advances in artificial induction strategies offer an adaptable and efficient platform for engineering extracellular vesicles, enabling their application as next-generation strategies in cancer immunotherapy.
