The term "Neuralink" has been falling in and out of mainstream discussion for some years now and is a love-hate topic. Elon Musk's brain computing company seems to have potential, but how does Neuralink work, and is brain-implant tech safe to use?

Commenting on this, the Scottish Public Health Observatory said: "Those causes are complex, multiple and interwoven. "In Glasgow's case, the main finding was that the city's population was made more vulnerable to factors which impacted on health across the UK (e.g poverty, deprivation, deindustrialisation, economic decisions taken at UK government level), consequently leading to poorer health than in other places which had similar experiences." Looking at the wider picture, the BHF reported that overall early deaths from cardiovascular disease were most common in the north of England, central Scotland and the south of Wales.
