The Neuroplastic Brain
This article delves into the astonishing ability of the human brain to rewire itself, offering insight into how this trait can heal, hinder, or even enhance our minds. From microscopic synaptic shifts to sweeping neural networks, the author unveils the breakthroughs, promises, and perils of harnessing neuroplasticity in medicine, technology, and daily life.
But as we edge closer to reengineering the brain itself, are we prepared for the consequences of unlocking its full potential?

Advanced Spine Surgery with AR Technology
The article highlights a groundbreaking advancement in spine surgery at Hackensack University Medical Center: two neurosurgeons became the first in New Jersey to use an augmented reality “X‑ray vision” headset (the xvision Spine System®) to perform spinal implant procedures with unparalleled precision and safety. By overlaying real-time CT-based 3D visuals directly into the surgeon’s field of view, this system enhances accuracy, minimizes radiation exposure, and supports less invasive operations.
But if surgeons can now see through bone and tissue with AR-enhanced clarity, how might this redefine what’s even possible inside the human body?

Facing the Fear of Public Speaking
The piece explores the deep-rooted experience of glossophobia, paralyzing fear of public speaking, examining its origins, real-world impact, and the spectrum of tools people use to confront it, from tried-and-tested strategies to cutting-edge solutions.
But if the most realistic and advanced techniques can’t fully eliminate that spotlight-induced heart‑racing moment, what power lies in simply stepping onto the stage anyway?
