    AI, genes and proteins dominate Nobel 2024 prizes

    British/Canadian academic Geoffrey Hinton – whose warnings about intelligent machines made headlines last year – shares the honours in physics with American John Hopfield for their research into machine learning.

    Popularly dubbed as a ‘godfather’ of AI, Hinton’s work on neural networks brought him to a senior role at Google until his high profile resignation in 2023 which was coupled with a general warning on the risks of artificial intelligence systems. Princeton professor Hopfield was honoured for his development of machine networks that can imitate the brain’s ability to recreate patterns.

    Brain stimulation at home helps to treat depression

    A remote clinical trial involving more than 150 people has shown that an experimental treatment for depression — which uses a swimming-cap-like device to gently stimulate the brain — can be effective when carried out at home.

    The non-invasive therapy, known as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), is designed to stimulate areas of the brain linked to mood regulation, and delivers a painless, weak electrical current through electrodes placed on the scalp. It could be a game-changer for the more than one-third of people with depression who do not respond to standard treatments such as antidepressants or psychotherapy.

    One in a Million: A Nationwide Diagnostics Strategy for Ultrarare Diseases

    What is an ultrarare disease?

    An “ultrarare disease” is one that has an extremely low prevalence in the general population, e.g., less than 1 in 50,000, but for an estimated 80 percent of the 5,000+ known rare genetic diseases, this number is closer to a prevalence of one in a million.

    As a group, ultrarare diseases occur in 3–6 percent of the global population, representing a significant global health burden. Many rare diseases are related to or caused by a single gene (i.e., monogenic), but single gene analyses or small gene panels to detect gene variants often fail to establish a diagnosis, especially for phenotypes with high genetic heterogeneity.
