Myelin is more complex and dynamic than previously believed.
Many people report having a difficult time recognizing faces from visually distinct different backgrounds than their own. A new brain stimulation study found the "other race effect" is a result of lacking of cognitive visual expertise, and not social bias.
Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation applied to the motor cortex can help improve age-related impairments in learning new motor skills.
Researchers have developed a chop stick-like device that uses a weak electrical current to stimulate the tongue and enhance the taste of salt. The device could help to reduce dietary sodium intake by up to 30%.
Electrically stimulating surviving nerves in the upper spinal cord following severe spinal cord injury improved motor control in upper limbs and allowed monkeys with limited arm function to regain lost movement.
Electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve promotes healing in those with acute inflammation by shifting the balance between inflammatory and anti-inflammatory molecules.
A new study reveals the mechanisms behind repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation's effect on the brain in the treatment of depression.
Using whole-brain virtual models, researchers simulate the effects of non-invasive neurostimulation on the aging brain. The computational models shed light on the dynamics of brain changes as a result of aging.
Non-invasive brain stimulation may improve smoking abstinence rates for 3 to 6 months after quitting.
Researchers report the optimal target for brain stimulation depends on the type of dystonia being treated.
Stimulating a part of the auditory cortex called the planum temporale improved speech perception, researchers report.
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation helped reduce cannabis use by up to 60% in those with schizophrenia who have cannabis use disorder.
