Researchers have discovered a link between nerve clusters in the brain and the amount of force generated by a physical action.
Targeting the nucleus accumbens by using deep brain stimulation could modify specific eating behaviors linked to weight changes and obesity, a new study suggests.
Deep brain stimulation appears to be safe, effective, and provides symptom improvements for at least one year in patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia.
Researchers use optogenetics to change alcohol drinking behavior in rodents.
Researchers have developed a new, minimally invasive brain stimulation technique that can induce a range of bodily movements. The technique, magneto-thermal stimulation, can be used to target highly specific brain regions and could help researchers to advance brain mapping studies.
A new study reveals deep brain stimulation not only improves motor function, but can also increase survival rates for those with Parkinson's disease.
A new sensor could help to reveal the role dopamine plays in learning and emotion.
A new technique that uses ultrafast fMRI is able to capture brain activity at sub-second levels. The technique allows for real-time monitoring of the brain under stimulation conditions.
Researchers have successfully recorded brain signatures of movement symptoms and deep brain stimulation of Parkinson's patients in real time. The findings could lay the groundwork for personalize therapies for those with the neurodegenerative disease.
A pioneering study is underway to test the effectiveness of deep brain stimulation in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
Deep brain stimulation at the intersection of two fiber bundles linked to memory formation appears to alleviate symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
Whether we are consciously aware of seeing a familiar face and object or not, our brains actively notice. A new study sheds light on the nature of conscious perception.
