Core Insights - The second "Hong Kong World Youth Science Conference" and the 2025 "Hong Kong Innovation and Technology Forum" were held in Hong Kong, featuring Nobel laureates and academicians from around the world, including the notable couple Edward and May-Britt Moser, who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2014 for their discovery of grid cells in the brain [1] Group 1: Discovery of Grid Cells - The Mosers discovered grid cells, which are crucial for the brain's spatial navigation system, functioning similarly to a GPS [2][3] - Grid cells create a geometric pattern in the brain, forming a grid-like structure that helps in spatial awareness and navigation [2][3] Group 2: Implications for Brain Science - The discovery of grid cells is significant as it reveals that the brain has an internal map that is not solely reliant on sensory input but is generated internally [3][4] - This internal navigation system is universal across humans and animals, but its effectiveness depends on how individuals anchor this map to stable external landmarks [6] Group 3: Alzheimer's Disease Research - The research on grid cells has opened new avenues for understanding neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease, which is characterized by early degeneration in the entorhinal cortex where grid cells are located [7][9] - The Mosers emphasize the need to focus on specific brain regions like the entorhinal cortex to understand the mechanisms behind Alzheimer's disease and develop potential treatments [10] Group 4: Cultural and Educational Exchange - The Mosers have engaged in significant collaborations with Chinese researchers, highlighting the importance of integrating Eastern and Western medical knowledge [12][13] - Their experiences in China have led to fruitful academic exchanges, including the development of innovative microscopy technology by a talented student from Peking University [14][15] Group 5: Gender Equality in Science - May-Britt Moser discusses the challenges of gender bias in science, advocating for a focus on individual capabilities rather than gender [17][18]

【环球网财经综合报道】脑机接口技术，作为"十四五"规划纲要中重点发展的"脑科学与类脑研究"领域的关键技术之一，被誉为大脑与外部设 备之间的"信息高速公路"。随着人工智能、神经生物学、传感器等技术的提升，脑机接口技术正逐步走进我们的生活。 脑机接口技术实现商用，应用场景广泛。在山东济南的实验室，实验人员通过脑机接口操控无人机，实现人与机器的交互。脑机接口的工作原 理是通过识别脑电波特征，直接读取大脑意图，将其转化为计算机指令。 推动我国脑机接口产业健康发展，应当坚持以应用为导向，特别是当前应以医疗场景为重点领域推进技术创新，从而解决实际临床需求，形成 可持续的发展模式。同时，建立完善的脑机接口技术标准、产品质量标准以及科学伦理规范也至关重要，将为产业发展持续提供规范引领，形 成有序创新环境。(文馨) 医疗领域是脑机接口技术最受关注的领域之一。在山东济南的实验室，实验人员穿戴脑控下肢外骨骼系统，依靠"意念"控制外骨骼，带动下肢 完成行走、抬腿等动作，为瘫痪患者带来了全新希望。 脑机接口技术主要分为非侵入式和侵入式两类。非侵入式脑机接口具有易操作、安全性高等特点，而侵入式脑机接口则可实现更高精度、更复 杂的神经控制 ...
