HONOLULU (Island News) -- Image mapping out an injured or impaired brain to see what needs to be fixed, then using magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to help it heal. Some patients ...

WASHINGTON -- Dr. Demetrius Lopes snaked a thin wire with a tiny magnet on its tip into an artery in Paul Kelsey's groin and threaded it all the way up into his brain. Aided by a helmet-shaped magnet ...

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. This treatment, often used for depression, can temporarily ...

Whereas optogenetics, which controls neurons with light, and electrical deep brain stimulation, used to treat Parkinson’s disease, both require the implantation of invasive electrodes into the brain, ...

Using nano-MIND technology, higher-order brain functions such as emotions, sociability, and survival instincts in animals can be freely regulated through selective control of specific neurons and ...

Researchers have developed a gene therapy technology that uses magnetic fields to switch groups of neurons on and off, controlling brain circuits affected by Parkinson’s disease. In addition to ...

Novel magnetic nanodiscs could provide a much less invasive way of stimulating parts of the brain, paving the way for stimulation therapies without implants or genetic modification, MIT researchers ...
