Groundbreaking Neural Connections Dataset, Gene Therapy Restores Toddler’s Hearing

Researchers publish the largest-ever dataset of neural connections, advancing our understanding of the brain. A groundbreaking gene therapy treatment allows a toddler born deaf to hear for the first time. Plus, scientists demonstrate the potential of electron spin to transmit quantum information, paving the way for quantum technologies. Also, a small laboratory uncovers potentially toxic chemicals in everyday products, raising concerns about consumer safety.
