Monkey experiments hint at a "motivation brake" pathway between two brain regions. Manipulating it may lead to new treatments ...

For decades, neurology treated the brain like a black box, nudging it with drugs and hoping symptoms would ease. Now researchers are learning to adjust the brain’s own electrical language with far ...

If deep brain stimulation (DBS) can help people with Parkinson’s disease walk and speak again, could it help people with Alzheimer’s disease, too? It’s a natural question, and one that researchers are ...

An ultrasound device that can precisely stimulate areas deep in the brain without surgery has been developed by researchers from UCL and the University of Oxford, opening up new possibilities for ...

Researchers outline a roadmap for applying transcranial focused ultrasound, a noninvasive technique for stimulating the brain ...

In 2006, Wolfgang Jäger was in his 30s when a skiing accident left the young Austrian wheelchair-bound from a spinal cord injury. Fast-forward to today, where an innovative deep-brain stimulation ...

But many scientists still believe that the scientific keys to the kingdom of consciousness are within reach. Lately, some are ...

New research suggests that paralyzed patients could regain some degree of movement — perhaps even walk again. In a study led by EPFL (Swiss Federal Technology Institute of Lausanne) and Lausanne ...

Obtaining prefrontal cortex biopsies during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in living patients does not increase the risk of adverse events or cognitive decline compared to standard DBS ...
