The field of genetics in cardiovascular disease has introduced new possibilities for understanding the fundamental causes of aortic diseases. Aortic aneurysms, dissections, and ruptures pose a significant health risk, with disproportionately high mortality rates and limited treatment options. On the other hand, only one-third of patients undergoing surgical intervention for thoracic or abdominal aneurysms in the US survive; hence, it ranks seventeenth on the list of the leading causes of death among individuals who are older than 65 years [,,].

Intel Labs revealed its largest neuromorphic computer on Wednesday, a 1.15 billion neuron system, which it says is roughly analogous to an owl's brain. But don't worry, Intel hasn't recreated Fallout's Robobrain. Instead of a network of organic neurons and synapses, Intel's Hala Point emulates them all in silicon.

A recent study has brought to light an interesting link between weight loss surgery and the health of our brains. In the United States, obesity is becoming more common, and it's expected that half of all adults will be affected by it in the next decade. This is worrying because being overweight is connected to problems with brain functions and even dementia, which is when people lose their memory and other thinking abilities as they get older.
