Brain activity under anesthesia challenges what we know about consciousness | ScienceDaily
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260624025514.htm
The unconscious brain appears to be far more capable than scientists once believed. Researchers found that patients under general anesthesia could still process language at a sophisticated level, distinguishing nouns, verbs, and adjectives while listening to stories. Even more remarkably, neural activity showed signs of predicting upcoming words before they were heard. The results challenge traditional ideas about consciousness and hint at new possibilities for brain-computer interfaces.

Brain and Endocrine Crosstalk
by Hemanshu Prabhakar, 2026
This book explores the physiology and neurophysiology of the endocrine system, emphasizing the intricate brain-endocrine crosstalk, from pathophysiology to clinical applications. The dynamic interplay between neural and endocrine system regulates nearly every function of human body, from metabolism and growth to circadian rhythm.

It bridges the gap between physiology, neurology, endocrinology and clinical practice thus empowering the readers to explore innovative therapeutic strategies and deepen their expertise in the rapidly evolving field of neuroendocrinology.
The book is divided into three sections – the first section covers the endocrine physiology, the second section discusses the neurophysiology of the endocrine system, and the final section includes the crosstalk of the brain and endocrine system. Chapters focus on the key topics, such as the physiology of the endocrine system, endocrine control of metabolism and diagnostic approaches to endocrine disorders, neural regulation of endocrine system, neuroendocrine response to stress, hormonal regulation of circadian rhythm, crosstalk of neuroendocrine system, clinical implications and recent research trends.
This volume of the book series ‘Physiology in Clinical Neurosciences – Brain and Spinal Cord Crosstalks’ serves as a valuable resource for clinicians, researchers, and postgraduate and super-speciality students in neurology, neuroscience, endocrinology, physiology and biomedical sciences. It is also helpful for allied health professionals, as well as researchers working in the domain of neuroendocrinology.

#Memories are stored across the #Brain through synaptic plasticity, a process where neural connections are physically strengthened or reshaped when neurons repeatedly fire together.
This initial pattern of network activity is coordinated by the hippocampus before undergoing structural consolidation, eventually embedding the memory permanently into the cerebral cortex.

A rudimentary look at the cephalopod nervous system reveals that there is more than one way to construct a large, smart brain. For starters, cephalopod brains are doughnut-shaped organs built around the oesophagus (see ‘Unusual anatomy’). Moreover, a large number of a cephalopod’s neurons — more than half in the case of octopuses — are located in the eight nerve cords, or minibrains, that control the arms.

😹🧠 Have you ever wondered why it’s so hard to stop laughing once you start?
While voluntary laughter is a controlled social tool, involuntary laughter is triggered by the amygdala and releases feel-good chemicals called endogenous #opioids – which explains why we are 30x more likely to laugh in a group than when we are alone.

Perhaps the most (in)famous and illustrious American computer scientist and acknowledged principal pioneer of the discipline now known as artificial intelligence (AI), Professor Marvin Minsky of MIT, once pronounced—a belief he still holds—that ‘‘the brain is merely a meat machine.’’ It is significant that the English language distinguishes between ‘‘flesh’’ on the one hand, and ‘‘meat’’ on the other. The latter is dead and may be eaten, thrown in the garbage, fed to pigs, and so on. Flesh, on the other hand, is living matter and, as such, deserves the respect and dignity for life of which, among others, Albert Schweitzer spoke eloquently. The word ‘‘merely’’ in Minsky’s sentence means essentially ‘‘nothing but,’’ that is, also not deserving unusual respect. His statement is a clear reflection of a profound contempt for life that, as I see it, is shared explicitly by important sectors of the AI community, the artificial intelligentsia, as well as many scientists, engineers, and ordinary people. Daniel C. Dennett, an important American philosopher, once said that we must give up our awe of life if we are to make further progress in AI.From Weizenbaum, Joseph (2007).
