A team of scientists recently aimed to better understand consciousness and its pathologies by studying the neural activity of patients with disorders of consciousness and healthy volunteers using brain imaging technology. They identified two crucial brain circuits implicated in consciousness. The results of the study have been published in Human Brain Mapping.

As generative AI (genAI) continues to move into broad use by the public and various enterprises, its adoption is sometimes plagued by errors, copyright infringement issues and outright hallucinations, undermining trust in its accuracy. One study from Stanford University found genAI makes mistakes when answering legal questions 75% of the time.

Logically speaking, you would think that animals who appeared to be the same - even if they were found in different parts of the world - would belong to the same species, and that they would share the same genome. However, our recent study has found that this is not always the case. The discovery came thanks to a small zooplankton of the species Oikopleura dioica, which we have used as a model to understand the evolutionary origin of the genetic family to which humans belong - known as chordates.

Artificial intelligence could be a boon for the healthcare sector, cutting down clinicians' administrative work, reducing spending and accelerating drug discovery. But the technology may need guardrails to function safely and effectively, or AI could cause harm to patients or exacerbate existing inequities, lawmakers and witnesses said at a Senate Health Education, Labor and Pensions subcommittee hearing on Wednesday.
