A Stanford University team has built what may be the most advanced human-animal brain hybrid ever created in a lab, and even the ethicists advising the project concede that no clear guidelines exist for what comes next. Sergiu Pașca, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford, led the research, which involved breeding mice genetically engineered to lack most of their cerebral cortex, the outer layer of the brain responsible for thought, memory, and perception, and then implanting millions of lab-grown human brain cells into the vacant space. The results, published in the journal Nature , showed that the human neurons divided, expanded, became vascularized, and largely filled the gap within weeks to months. The…Open

Two researchers who study the debilitating sleep disorder have won a prestigious Lasker Award. Their research in animals laid the groundwork for a new drug that addresses the condition’s root cause.
A growing body of survivor accounts and scientific research suggests human consciousness may not end when the body shuts down, a finding that challenges materialist assumptions and raises questions science alone cannot answer.

A growing body of survivor accounts and scientific research suggests human consciousness may not end when the body shuts down, a finding that challenges materialist assumptions and raises questions science alone cannot answer. Katie Winschief's husband found her unconscious on the kitchen floor of their Pensacola, Florida, home on January 20, 2015. He rushed her to Sacred Heart Hospital, where both lungs collapsed, her breathing stopped, and her heart quit beating. A priest performed last rites. By every visible measure, she was gone. But Winschief says she was watching the whole thing, from above. She describes floating outside the emergency room, drifting higher until she could see the tops of the hospital and an adjacent mall. A…Open
