Neural Prosthesis Restores Behavior After Brain Injury
Researchers restored behavior in a rat model of TBI using a neuroprosthetic device.
A Simple Eye Test for Multiple Sclerosis
Researchers discover the pupils of MS patients respond much slower to stimuli. Additionally, the study reports the slower the response time, the worse the symptoms of MS are.
Gene-Silencing Study Finds New Targets for Parkinson’s Disease
Researchers use RNAi to reveal dozens of genes which could represent new therapeutic targets for treating Parkinson’s disease.
Chaotic Physics in Ferroelectrics Hints at Brain-Like Computing
Unexpected behavior in ferroelectric materials explored by researchers supports a new approach to information storage and processing known as memcomputing.
Carnegie Mellon Computer Searches Web 24/7 To Analyze Images and Teach Itself Common Sense
The Never Ending Image Learner (NEIL) computer program is able to label images and learn associations with little human intervention.
Study Looks at Better Prediction For Epileptic Seizures Through Adaptive Learning Approach
Researchers have developed a computational model which can more accurately predict when the next epileptic seizure will occur by using a patient’s personalized medical information.
Clinical Trial Brings Positive Results for Tinnitus Sufferers
Using VNS tone therapy is safe and has brought some significant improvement to some tinnitus sufferers, a new study reports.
Glowing Worms Illuminate Roots of Behavior
Researchers develop a novel system to image worm brain activity. The new technology makes it possible for researchers to study the neural circuitry and genetics associated with animal behavior.
Biosensor Could Help Detect Brain Injuries During Heart Surgery
A new biosensor has been developed which could alter doctors when serious brain injury occurs during heart surgery. Researchers hope the device could help doctors to devise new ways to minimize brain damage and start treatment rapidly.
Robotic Advances Promise Artificial Legs That Emulate Healthy Limbs
Advances in robotics have made it possible to create artificial legs that can duplicate the natural movement of human legs. The research could help improve the mobility of lower-limb amputees.
