That tweet, which framed an Australian soldier with an innocent child, doctored and shared by a Chinese Official, will remain historically controversial. The Israeli company Cyabra has expressed their expertise: Cyabra analyses and exposes online fakery for governments and corporations. They found 57.5% of accounts that engaged with the tweet in question were fake, and “evidence of a largely orchestrated disinformation campaign” to amplify its message. Cyabra said its analysis of the 1,344 accounts revealed a large number were created in November and used only once - to retweet that single item. We all probably knew as much, now proven.

Parkinson's disease is a brain disorder, affecting > 10 million people, caused by gradual loss of dopamine neurons leading to involuntary tremors, stiffness, and balance problems. There are drugs to treat symptoms, however no drugs exist to slow progression of the disease.University College Cork researchers found neurotrophic factor,(GDF5) has protective effects on dopamine neurons in Parkinson’s. Next study will be what stage of the disease is best to deliver GDF5 to the brain to slow the disease’s progression.These are promising results and mean that the search for a new therapy for Parkinson’s focusing on neurotrophic factors should continue.https://thenextweb.com/syndication/2020/12/0

Nederlands Herseninstitut (NIN), researchers from a team led by Pieter Roelfsema are now using new implant production and implantation technologies, cutting-edge materials engineering, microchip fabrication, and microelectronics, to develop devices that are more stable and durable than previous implants. The first results are very promising.This research lays the foundations for a neuroprosthetic device that could allow profoundly blind people to regain functional vision and to recognize objects, navigate in unfamiliar surroundings, and interact more easily in social settings, significantly improving their independence and quality of life.https://www.technologynetworks.com/neuroscience/news/sight-restoring
