A new systematic review and meta-analysis of studies looking at a possible association between Tylenol (acetaminophen) use in pregnancy and neurodevelopmental disorders in children concludes there is no evidence of any meaningful risk. The study was carried out by researchers in the U.K., Italy, Sweden and Norway, in response to U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert Kennedy saying last September that there is a link. Unless medically necessary, it is “irresponsible” to take Tylenol during pregnancy, Kennedy said.

As the momentum and interest in brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies continue to accelerate, Merge Labs has emerged with an investment from OpenAI in its seed round. Merge Labs says it plans to develop next-generation BCIs capable of interacting with the brain at high bandwidth, integrating with advanced AI, and doing so in ways that are safe and accessible to everyone.
