Polydopamine-doped PEDOT coatings lower electrode impedance and strengthen cell–electrode contact

Sharif University researchers report a polydopamine-doped PEDOT coating that cuts 1 kHz impedance to ~270 Ω, makes the surface superhydrophilic, and increases cell adhesion in vitro; molecular dynamics show stronger membrane binding for PDA-containing interfaces.

Neurovascular impulse response function reflects region-specific neuromodulation across mouse cortex

Boston University researchers show that the neurovascular impulse response linking neural activity to blood volume varies across cortical regions in mice and reflects local neuromodulatory signals; data and code are publicly available on DANDI and GitHub.

USC-led ENIGMA study finds contralesional 'youthful' brain patterns linked to severe motor impairment after stroke

A multicohort ENIGMA study published in The Lancet Digital Health finds that large strokes speed aging in damaged tissue while making contralesional frontoparietal regions appear younger; the pattern correlates with severe, persistent motor deficits and may reflect compensatory neuroplasticity.

Mouse study links early‑adult stress‑drinking to locus coeruleus dysfunction and midlife cognitive decline

A mouse study in Alcohol Clinical & Experimental Research finds that drinking to cope with stress in early adulthood produced lasting locus coeruleus dysfunction, higher oxidative stress, and midlife cognitive deficits in mice; human implications remain unproven.
