Researchers successfully demonstrate a technique to enhance self control through a new form of brain stimulation.
Long term outcome data of patients with treatment-resistant depression found subcallosal cingulate deep brain stimulation (SCC DBS) was both effective at relieving symptoms and safe.
Stimulating the lateral orbitofrontal cortex improves mood in those suffering from depression, a new study reveals.
A new, improved DBS technique that targets specific subpopulations of neurons in the globus pallidus with short bursts of stimulation shows promising results as a treatment for Parkinson's disease.
Researchers are developing new technologies that can stimulate and sense neurons in the human brain non-invasively.
Researchers have come up with a new, noninvasive method of stimulating areas deep within the brain by using electrodes placed on the scalp.
Researchers have successfully altered firing rates of neurons in the central thalamus to change conscious states in rats.
Researchers report in a new PNAS study that direct stimulation of the amygdala can enhance memory of images a day later, if the stimulation is applied immediately after the images are viewed.
Researchers warn some deep brain stimulation devices may dysfunction and shut off during thunderstorms.
Electrical brain stimulation targeting the “dysregulated reward circuitry” could make deep brain stimulation a new option for the difficult-to-treat problem of obesity.
Researchers report low frequency deep brain stimulation can help to improve cognitive function in people with Parkinson's disease.
