Closed-loop targeted deep brain stimulation holds promise in addressing symptoms of depression and obsessive-compulsive ...

Previous applications of TUS were limited, as they were imprecise and too weak to target areas deeper in the brain. Parkinson’s in particular damages neurons deep in a region of the midbrain called ...

For more than a decade, Carnegie Mellon neuroscientist Aryn Gittis has been unraveling the mystery of how the brain controls movement — research now pointing toward new treatments for Parkinson’s ...

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 ...

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 ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the lateral hypothalamus (LH) improves walking and promotes recovery in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI), new research showed. This intervention excites ...

Deep-brain structures like the basal ganglia or the thalamus wield major influence on our behavior. If something goes awry, dysregulation in the deep brain may trigger neurological conditions like ...

Alzheimer's disease not only robs people of their memory but also affects mood, often causing anxiety and depression. Until ...

When most people consider treatment for psychiatric problems, they usually consider medications and/or psychotherapy. However, emerging neuromodulation approaches using transcranial magnetic ...

Brain stimulation might sound like some Frankensteinian demonstration from a Victorian science fair. But in reality, it is a contemporary technique making a huge impact in neuroscience by addressing a ...
