Scientists Develop Accurate Model of Blood-Brain Barrier
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is the primary reason that so few medicines exist to treat brain conditions. Drugs that can attack tumors elsewhere usually can't penetrate the defenses of the BBB, so figuring out how to get through it is important...

Sensory Substitution Improves Speech Understanding in Hearing Impaired
Our brains are incredibly adept at adjusting to new challenges, a general concept known as neuroplasticity. Some blind people are known to use echolocation, and now there's a proof of concept for a similar idea for those that can't hear well. A...
