HONOLULU (Island News) -- Image mapping out an injured or impaired brain to see what needs to be fixed, then using magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to help it heal. Some patients ...
Using nano-MIND technology, higher-order brain functions such as emotions, sociability, and survival instincts in animals can be freely regulated through selective control of specific neurons and ...
Whereas optogenetics, which controls neurons with light, and electrical deep brain stimulation, used to treat Parkinson’s disease, both require the implantation of invasive electrodes into the brain, ...
Researchers have developed a gene therapy technology that uses magnetic fields to switch groups of neurons on and off, controlling brain circuits affected by Parkinson’s disease. In addition to ...
According to a study by MIT, new magnetic nanodiscs could offer a much less invasive way to stimulate specific brain regions. This advancement could lead to stimulation treatments that do not require ...
A research team at the University of Toronto in Canada has developed a set of miniature magnet-powered tools that could revolutionize keyhole brain surgery, offering faster recovery, reduced pain, and ...
The brain MRI is important for the diagnosis of prion disease for ruling out other possible etiologies, but it can also show features suggestive of prion disease. Brain MRI findings are found in most ...
