Using lesion network mapping, researchers identified brain circuits associated with addiction remission. The findings provide a new target for the development of treatments for addiction.
Researchers report EEG technology has the ability to study activity of areas deep inside the brain, such as the thalamus and nucleus accumbens. The findings will help shed new light on disorders that affect these brain regions, such as Parkinson's disease and OCD.
Researchers have come up with a new, noninvasive method of stimulating areas deep within the brain by using electrodes placed on the scalp.
Researchers discuss the potential of deep brain stimulation in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, OCD, Tourette syndrome and other disorders.
Amputees are able to regain sense of touch and 'feel' with their prosthetic hands, thanks to new technological advances.
Targeting the nucleus accumbens by using deep brain stimulation could modify specific eating behaviors linked to weight changes and obesity, a new study suggests.
Researchers have discovered a link between nerve clusters in the brain and the amount of force generated by a physical action.
Deep brain stimulation to the frontal lobe may help to improve cognitive, behavioral and functional difficulties in those with Alzheimer's disease, a new study reports.
Researchers have identified a specific pathway between the hypothalamus and habenula that controls feelings of aversion.
Researchers combine movement sensing electrodes on top of the brain with deep brain stimulating electrodes to help treat essential tremor, the world's most prevalent movement disorder.
Stimulating the thalamus and other areas of the brain stem connected with wakefulness can help bring rats back to consciousness after a seizure, new research reports.
Sweat response could make brain stimulators more responsive for those with PTSD and other psychological disorders.
