Noland Arbaugh became the first human patient to receive the Neuralink device. The 30-year-old quadriplegic man who opted to become the first human to receive Elon Musk's Neuralink brain implant chip called "The Link" revealed how the pioneering technology has changed his life. Noland Arbaugh, who became paralyzed from the shoulders down after sustaining a spinal cord injury from diving into shallow water, became the first human participant in Neuralink's clinical trial in January, eight years after his accident.

Recent trends show Australians are increasingly buying wearables such as smartwatches and fitness trackers. These electronics track our body movements or vital signs to provide data throughout the day, with or without the help of artificial intelligence (AI). There's also a newer product category that engages directly with the brain.

On May 2024, the U.Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the U.Department of Agriculture (USDA) released a plan to update, streamline, and clarify their regulations and oversight mechanisms for products of biotechnology. The Coordinated Framework for the Regulation of Biotechnology: Plan for Regulatory Reform under the Coordinated Framework for the Regulation of Biotechnology (the Plan) provides a roadmap for actions the agencies will take, individually and collaboratively, to improve regulatory clarity, streamline regulatory oversight, reduce regulatory redundancies and gaps, and increase regulatory coordination for specific product categories and across the Coordinated Framework.

There is some evidence suggesting it could be genetic, while other studies point towards environmental factors. What is known, however, is that when someone is developing Alzheimer'their body starts producing significantly more of two types of proteins - amyloid and tau. In a recent study published in the American Neurological Association's Annals of Neurology, Spanish researchers have found that stressful events early or mid-life can lead to higher amounts of amyloid and tau in the spinal fluid.
