The Ethical Significance of Brain-Computer Interfaces as Enablers of Communication by Toma Gruica

“…Such moments fundamentally reconfigure the ethical relationship, shifting the patient from an object of interpretation to a subject capable of self-representation and autonomous expression.[8] These cases share the same ethical pattern: the BCI’s biggest impact is not the specific messages it transmits but its role as the enabler of transmission itself. …”

Risk of developing drug abuse in administration of a new hexaazaisowurtzitane derivative-based analgesic (experimental study) by S. G. Krylova, T. N. Pove’teva, K. A. Lopatina, Yu. V. Nesterova, E. P. Zueva, O. G. Afanas’eva, P. V. Kulpin, E. A. Kiseleva, N. I. Suslov, D. A. Kulagina, S. V. Sysolyatin, V. V. Zhdanov

“…Previous in vivo and in silico studies (docking, molecular modeling, molecular dynamics simulation) on the multi-target mechanism of thiowurtzine explain the absence of its morphine-like effect by the fact that the major targets of the analgesic are TRPA1 receptors and voltage-gated Ca 2+ channels. With a high degree of probability, the conclusions made herein predict no drug abuse development when thiowurtzine is used in the clinical setting. …”
