The discovery of how to shift damaged brain cells from a diseased state into a healthy one presents a potential new path to treating Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, according to a new study ...

Long-term memory of specific places is stored in the brain in so-called place cells. Neuroscientists have now 'reprogrammed' such place cells in free-roaming mice, by sending electrical impulses ...

July 11, 2006 — A small study suggests that in Parkinson's patients who already have a stable response to subthalmic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS), "tweaking" of the electrical ...

It sounds like something more suited to an android than a human being: Tuning our central processing center (that would be our brain) by using pulses of light or sound to get rid of distress. But that ...

Individual frequency can be used to specifically influence certain areas of the brain and thus the abilities processed in them - solely by electrical stimulation on the scalp, without any surgical ...

A mechanism underlying neutrophil reprogramming in brain cancers has been uncovered, illuminating potential therapeutic targets to stop their pro-cancer effect. Tumor-infiltrating neutrophils are ...
