Bioresorbable implant electrically stimulates organs, nerves and muscles then vanishes aft

To treat or manage various heart, gastrointestinal and neurological conditions, including arrhythmias, heart block, gastroparesis, epilepsy and some nerve injuries, doctors rely on a technique known as electrical stimulation. Electrical stimulation entails the delivery of small e

Specialized procedure saves a young woman's ability to walk

Through interdepartmental collaboration, a young woman's quality of life and ability to walk were restored following the laparoscopic removal of a rare, benign tumor of neurological origin in the lesser pelvis, known as a schwannoma (also called a neurinoma). In the Central and E

VR study with zebrafish shows surroundings influence developing biology of the eye

The environment experienced by young zebrafish influences both the shape and electrical activity of the neurons in the eye, which affects subsequent behavior.

Digital mindfulness intervention beneficial for late-life depression

A digital mindfulness intervention with electroencephalogram (EEG) feedback—the FocusZen Mindfulness Stress Reduction System—reduces depression, anxiety, and sleep symptoms among participants with late-life depression (LLD), according to a study published in the Journal of Psychi

'Drunk riding' behind almost half of fatal electric scooter crashes in Sweden

In almost half of all fatal electric scooter crashes in Sweden, the rider has been under the influence of alcohol. These fatal crashes occur mainly in the evenings or at night, and in all cases, no helmet was worn. This is shown by a new study from Chalmers University of Technolo

Neuroscientists observe electrical signals in the soma and dendrites of living mice

The human brain contains billions of neurons, specialized nerve cells that communicate with each other via electrical and chemical signals. Every neuron is made up of its body (i.e., soma), where most cellular processes occur; a long projection called an axon that sends signals t

First AI agent and risk prediction model for precision diabetes management

A research team at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has developed Hong Kong's first "AI Agent for Precision Diabetes Management—PIPE-AI" (AI Agent), designed specifically for Asian populations, together with a related disease risk prediction model. Leveraging artifici

Get better sleep with ultrasound patch that boosts REM rest

A University of Texas at Austin-led team of researchers has developed a noninvasive patch that boosts REM sleep in real-world trials without surgery or medication. The technology, called NEUSLeeP, is a soft, wearable device that uses gentle ultrasound waves and electrodes to stim

Electric fields could organize neural activity trial by trial during memory tasks

It's a fact of life that the electrical activity of neurons will vary during the same task, even when the ultimate outcome is the same. A new study shows that a lot of ongoing fluctuations in the brain's activity can be explained by the influence local electric fields exert on th

What your tears could reveal about your brain

A few tears may someday reveal important clues about a person's neurological health. Researchers reporting in ACS Omega developed a low-cost electrochemical sensor designed to detect dopamine, a neurotransmitter involved in movement, learning, motivation and emotional regulation.

Losing sleep is bad for individuals. Communities, too?

Large groups of people often lose sleep because of big events like a record 18-inning World Series game or a contested election night, or sudden crises like a flood, pandemic or war. In a new paper published in Clocks & Sleep, Harvard sleep researchers argue that while the mental

Brain imaging reveals how neural networks coordinate multiple streams at once

Working with concurrent electroencephalogram and functional magnetic resonance imaging technology at the Beckman Institute's Biomedical Imaging Center, postdoctoral researcher Suhnyoung Jun and her colleagues have investigated how the brain connectome's dynamics unfold across dif
