Electrical stimulation of the hippocampus activates the same receptor complexes as memory recall and learning, a new study reveals.
A new study challenges current understanding of how visual attention is focused, as well as the roles of long and short term memory.
WUSTL researchers have developed a new, implantable and biodegradable device that delivers pulses of electrical activity to damaged peripheral nerves in rats, helping the animals to regrow nerves and improve nerve function.
Researchers successfully demonstrate a technique to enhance self control through a new form of brain stimulation.
University of Rochester researchers report low levels of electrical stimulation delivered to areas of the brain responsible for movement can instruct an appropriate response, replacing signals for sensory processing.
Researchers have developed a new wireless brain stimulation device that could revolutionize the way neurological disorders are treated. The device, called WAND, fine tunes treatments by stimulating and recording electrical currents in the brain at the same time.
Researchers report epidural stimulation helped two people with quadriplegia to improve voluntary hand movements.
A new prosthetic system allows amputees to feel the same intensity of pressure on their prosthetic hand as they can feel with their natural hand.
A surgeon is using electrical stimulation as part of an advanced surgical technique to treat Bell's palsy. Stimulating the patient's damaged facial nerves with an electrical current helps 'jump start' the nerve in order to restore improved facial movement more quickly.
Stimulating the lateral orbitofrontal cortex improves mood in those suffering from depression, a new study reveals.
Researchers describe using low current electrical stimulation on specific areas of the brain to enhance distinct memories.
Electrocortical stimulation therapy could end the misery of motion sickness, a new study reports.
