“To the best of our team's knowledge, this project represents the first time an Alabama medical center has examined deep brain stimulation for depression,” said Matthew Macaluso, D.O., director of the ...

Perhaps the most compelling finding from a UW Medicine study to help stroke victims recover hand movement is that if its first subject applied to be part of the study today, he would not qualify.

A more precise and personalized form of electric brain stimulation may be a more effective and faster treatment for people with moderate to major depression compared to other similar treatments, ...

Stimulation of the visual cortex of the brain for 20 minutes with a mild electrical current can improve vision for about two hours, and those with worse vision improve the most, according to a ...

New research suggests that the electrical complexity of the brain diminishes in early Alzheimer’s disease, potentially signaling a breakdown in the neural networks that support conscious awareness. By ...

A painless, non-invasive brain stimulation technique can significantly improve how young adults learn math, my colleagues and I found in a recent study. In a paper in PLOS Biology, we describe how ...

Precise electrical stimulation is essential for modern neural interfaces, but unwanted current spread often activates ...

Combining two treatments could be a promising option for people, especially military veterans, whose lives are negatively affected by post-traumatic stress disorder, finds a new study. In a clinical ...

Mild electrical brain stimulation did not further improve motor recovery in stroke survivors, according to late-breaking science presented today at the American Stroke Association's International ...
