			New robotic system can diagnose neurodegenerative diseases through eye movements A new robotic system developed by UPM researchers and AURA Innovative Robotics Company can help diagnose neurodegenerative diseases, such as dementia and Parkinson, through the analysis of eye movements.

			Rockefeller scientists shed new light on the neuroscience of sleep A good night of sleep entails about eight hours of blissful immobility--a state of near paralysis that, though welcome at night, would be inconvenient during the day.

	Novel microscope technology offers images of the brain with 4K resolution and 3D visualization The Department of Neurosurgery at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is one of the first hospitals in the country to use the ZEISS KINEVO 900 microscope, a new surgeon-driven, robotic visualization system that merges the functionality of a surgical microscope with 4K resolution and 3D visualization along with specialized robotic control.

	Sleep disorders appear to be first sign of serious neurological diseases Sleep disorders are often the first sign of serious neurological diseases. Neurologists should inquire extensively about the quality of their patients' sleep.

	Biomedical engineers uncover new fundamental feature of brain oscillations The coordination of neural activity across widespread brain networks is essential for human cognition. Researchers have long assumed that oscillations in the brain, commonly measured for research purposes, brain-computer interfacing, and clinical tests, were stationary signals that occurred independently at separate brain regions.

	New study takes researchers one step closer to understanding consciousness Consciousness is everything people experience -- from the taste of chocolate to the pain of a migraine, the disappointment of failing an exam to the thrill of holding a newborn baby.
