Combining virtual reality and non-invasive deep-brain electrical stimulation, researchers have improved healthy individuals’ spatial memory – the kind that helps you remember where you left the car ...

A new study led by Bucknell University Professor Karlo Malaga, biomedical engineering, has identified key insights into optimizing deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease patients.

Novel magnetic nanodiscs could provide a much less invasive way of stimulating parts of the brain, paving the way for stimulation therapies without implants or genetic modification, MIT researchers ...

What Is Deep Brain Stimulation? The procedure involves implanting electrodes within areas of the brain for people with movement conditions. "The electrodes produce electrical impulses that affect ...

EPFL researchers have combined virtual reality, non-invasive brain stimulation and advanced brain imaging techniques to improve spatial navigation in healthy participants. The study is a first step in ...

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) can be addressed by the right intervention even in severe, refractory cases. These cases, characterized by involuntary muscle movements, are most often caused by antipsychotics ...

Each year, thousands of stroke survivors are left with hemianopia, a condition that causes loss of half of their visual field (the “vertical midline”). Hemianopia severely affects daily activities ...

Deep brain stimulation may provide immediate improvement in arm and hand strength and function weakened by traumatic brain injury or stroke, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers ...

Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) provides lasting benefits for patients with moderate-to-advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD), with sustained improvements in movement and quality of ...
