          Brain Stimulation Reverses Synaptic Damage in Alzheimer’s

          New research shows that low-intensity repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can restore key synaptic structures in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease. The study found that axonal boutons—sites where neurons form connections—had reduced turnover in Alzheimer’s mice, indicating impaired brain plasticity. After a single rTMS session, the turnover of one bouton type significantly increased, matching levels seen in healthy mice.

          ECT Cuts Suicide Risk by 34% in Severe Depression

          A new meta-analysis reveals that Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) reduces suicide risk by 34% and all-cause mortality by 30% in individuals with severe depression. The study, which pooled data from 26 high-quality studies, compared nearly 18,000 patients treated with ECT to over 25,000 who received standard care. ECT also modestly reduced suicidal thoughts, showing broader health benefits beyond mental health. While newer therapies like rTMS and VNS showed some promise, the evidence was too limited to draw firm conclusions.

          Symptom Provocation Boosts Brain Stimulation Effectiveness

          A new meta-analysis suggests that provoking symptoms just before delivering repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve clinical outcomes for OCD and nicotine dependence. Researchers examined data from multiple studies and found that rTMS was nearly twice as effective when paired with targeted symptom provocation.

          Vagus Nerve Stimulation Erases PTSD

          A pioneering clinical study found that pairing vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) with traditional therapy eliminated PTSD diagnoses in all participants up to six months post-treatment. The trial combined prolonged exposure therapy with brief bursts of VNS via an implanted device, enhancing neuroplasticity and sustaining remission.

          A new study shows that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive brain stimulation method, can influence how quickly and flexibly people make decisions. Researchers targeted the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex—key in planning and action—while participants performed simultaneous visual and auditory tasks.

          Brain Stimulation Aids Walking Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury

          Researchers have identified the lateral hypothalamus (LH) as a key brain region for walking recovery in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients, demonstrating that deep brain stimulation (DBS) can significantly enhance mobility and autonomy. Unlike traditional DBS applications, targeting the LH promotes long-term neurological improvements, even when stimulation is off. A clinical trial showed dramatic outcomes in participants, with restored walking ability and improved daily independence.

          Magnetic Nanodiscs Offer Implant-Free Brain Stimulation

          Scientists have developed magnetic nanodiscs that enable targeted brain stimulation without invasive implants or genetic modifications. The tiny discs, activated by an external magnetic field, deliver electrical pulses to neurons, showing potential in treating neurological conditions. Initial tests in mice demonstrated that these nanodiscs effectively stimulate brain regions linked to reward and motor control, with fewer foreign body responses compared to traditional implants.
