A groundbreaking international clinical trial has been testing an implanted adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) device as a treatment therapy for Parkinson’s.

Precise electrical stimulation is essential for modern neural interfaces, but unwanted current spread often activates off-target cells and limits resolution. A new microneedle electrode design ...

Wearable health technology is rapidly evolving from passive tracking to active physiological modulation. What began with step ...

(A) Maze channel design, (B) guiding electric stimulation, (C) punishing electric stimulation, and (D) punishing heat stimulation. The lower-right image is a thermal image of the maze surface. The ...

Scientists from Trinity College Dublin have discovered that electrically stimulating "macrophages" – one of the immune systems key players – can "reprogram" them in such a way to reduce inflammation ...

New research by scientists at the Allen Institute's Brain and Consciousness group and Cedars-Sinai offers an unprecedented look at how neurons respond to electric stimulation (ES). Far from being ...

Are you terrible at math? British scientists can fix that. While it doesn't involve hours of math homework, it does involve some gentle electricity to the brain. The idea is to stimulate the nerves ...

In diabetics, wounds tend to progress quickly and heal slowly. Researchers have developed a method that uses electricity to heal diabetic wounds three times faster and offers great potential for ...

Bottom line: This study found that, in rats, acute nerve injuries that may recover can be distinguished from those that are unlikely to recover based on the response to intraoperative electrical nerve ...
