HSE Researchers Show How Congenital Motor Disorders Affect Brain Development
Researchers from HSE University’s Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience have synthesised the findings of their previous studies on brain development in children with obstetric brachial plexus palsy and arthrogryposis. Their analysis shows that impaired motor function in early childhood not only limits children’s motor experience but also affects memory, categorical thinking, and information processing. The study has been published in Frontiers in Psychology.

Window into the Body: Scientists Develop Neural Network to Detect Risk of 15 Diseases from Retinal Images
Russian universities, with the participation of HSE University, Sber, and Z-union, have developed a neural network that can simultaneously assess the risk of 15 types of pathology from retinal photographs, including not only eye diseases but also cardiovascular conditions. The AI system can help clinicians detect potentially concerning changes at an early stage, identify signs reflecting the condition of retinal blood vessels, and determine whether a patient may need further examination. The paper has been published in Frontiers in Medicine.

The HSE News Service interviewed Grigory Smirnov, Head of the Laboratory, and Genri Norman, Chief Research Fellow, about the conference preparations and the discussions it generated.

Vocational Pathways to Viable Futures: Narrative Construction of Agentic Selves in a Russian Arctic Monotown

British Journal of Sociology of Education. 2026. P. 1–18.
Pavlenko E., Tolstykh D.

This article examines how youth in a Russian Arctic monotown construct agency through vocational education and training (VET) amid extreme structural constraints. Drawing on cultural sociology, it reconceptualises agency as a narrative construct, mobilising shared repertoires to render scripted pathways viable and morally coherent. Based on 65 interviews with 16–20-year-old students across five VET schools, findings reveal differentiated trajectories: technical VET enables predictable industrial staying with moralised labour; medical VET offers low-risk entry to long-term care careers; teacher-training VET provides a 'humanities island' for softened mobility; and arts VET institutionalises counter-normative creative paths. Challenging binary views of agency, the study positions VET systems as infrastructures translating uncertainty into narratively coherent futures, contributing to youth transitions and sociology of education by highlighting cultural work in peripheral contexts.

Пространство науки трактуется как многомерное ...
