The SNS records neural activity from 60 channels across four brain regions--an order-of-magnitude increase over commercially available devices. The NeuroPace RNS system, FDA-cleared for epilepsy, ...

A study published in The Cerebellum provides initial experimental evidence that a single session of cerebellar High-Definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HD-tDCS) may help to maintain ...

Researchers have recently uncovered new insights into how the brain’s reward system functions in individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and its relationship with psychological ...

MIT researchers say they've developed microscopic "circulatronics" technology that could one day provide noninvasive brain ...

Persons with Parkinson's disease increasingly lose their mobility over time and are eventually unable to walk. Hope for these patients rests on deep brain stimulation, also known as a brain pacemaker.
