Researchers have developed a neurofeedback system which allows Parkinson's patients to voluntarily control beta wave activity in the subthalamic nucleus.
A new study reveals deep brain stimulation not only improves motor function, but can also increase survival rates for those with Parkinson's disease.
Theta oscillations help the brain remember locations to which a person is trying to navigate.
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 successfully altered firing rates of neurons in the central thalamus to change conscious states in rats.
Stimulating the central lateral thalamus in monkeys under anesthesia was enough to wake the animals and elicit normal waking behaviors.
Using optogenetics, researchers obtain a better understanding of the neurochemical basis for alcohol addiction.
Neurosurgeons have developed a new way to perform deep brain stimulation surgeries. The new technique allows for more accurate placement of the electrodes in the brain and is likely to be safer for patients.
Deep brain stimulation appears to be safe, effective, and provides symptom improvements for at least one year in patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia.
Researchers are developing new technologies that can stimulate and sense neurons in the human brain non-invasively.
Researchers have successfully recorded neural activity in the human striatum.
Researchers genetically modify individual neurons to become more sensitive to light stimuli.
