1. French Neurotech

This story is about a revised map of France’s neurotechnology companies, shared through the Neurotech Newsletter. The map lists 45 companies across the country, grouped into focused ultrasound, neural interfaces, imaging and NeuroAI, neuromodulation, and rehabilitation or interventional technologies.

2. Sleep Paralysis

This story comes from a Reddit discussion asking what happens chemically during sleep paralysis, when consciousness returns while REM-related muscle atonia persists. The post focuses on neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, hormones, and other processes that might keep the body temporarily immobile, as well as what changes when the episode ends.

3. Histamine Learning

This story is about how histamine, commonly associated with allergies, may influence human learning, based on a Nature Communications study. Researchers used pitolisant, a drug that increases histamine signaling through H3 receptors, as a causal probe in human experiments.
